Vilon 20 mg: research material

Buy Vilon 20 mg for laboratory research, supplied as lyophilized powder in one boxed 3 mL vial.

Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide with the sequence Lys-Glu, abbreviated KE: lysine followed by glutamic acid. Published experiments examine this short peptide in cell-signaling and inflammatory-response models.

Choose the material and presentation

The selected presentation contains a labeled 20 mg of material in one vial. Its 3 mL capacity does not specify a solution volume or concentration. Choose laboratory conditions from a material-matched protocol rather than inferring them from the container size.

Sequence order matters when comparing short peptides. Vilon (KE) is distinct from Thymogen (EW), longer thymic peptides and mixed tissue extracts. Match the full identity and supplied chemical form to the material used in the original experiment.

Vilon in the THP-1 cell model

Avolio and colleagues compared five peptide preparations in the THP-1 cell line, examining both monocytes and cells differentiated into macrophages. Some experiments included lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a stimulus used to investigate inflammatory signaling.

Vilon did not reproduce every response seen with the other preparations. In monocytes, Vilon alone showed only limited modulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation; its pattern changed when LPS was present. In differentiated cells, the study examined STAT1 activation and changes in cytokine release, including TNF and IL-6.

The distinction matters: peptide identity, cell state and stimulus all affect interpretation. These results support a specific cell-model discussion, rather than a general claim that Vilon boosts immune function. A signaling response in this paper also does not certify the biological activity of the vial selected here.

Product records and batch reports

Use the COA & Documents tab to review available reports and product files. Match the compound, presentation and lot before relying on a certificate of analysis. An identity result, HPLC purity percentage and measured material content answer different analytical questions.

Confirm storage, handling and any assay-specific requirements against the supplied material records. Another supplier’s expiry period or solvent recommendation should not be assumed to apply. Ask for any missing specification needed for your laboratory workflow before selecting the material.
