This targeting peptide, SFHQLPARSPLP, has been identified by phage display methods. It acts as a cell-targeting peptide and binds to mucosal M cells and Peyer's patch M cells (Kim SH et al, 2010). The peptide has been used as an adjuvant for targeted antigen delivery into the mucosal immune system to enhance immune induction and to induce antigen-specific immune responses. Use of the peptide supports a skewed Th2 cell immune response against the fused antigen.
