Research overview
Vilon is a two-residue peptide, Lys-Glu (KE), also written L-lysyl-L-glutamic acid and listed as an immune dipeptide bioregulator of the Khavinson family. It is studied for chromatin and epigenetic effects in immune-cell models. Supplied at 20mg as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro laboratory research only.
Vilon is one of the shortest peptides in the bioregulator literature. Studies in lymphocyte cultures describe changes in chromatin condensation and in the expression of genes involved in immune function, and they link the dipeptide to epigenetic regulation, including histone and DNA methylation marks. The idea that a dipeptide can enter nuclei and bind DNA specifically is a hypothesis from a small number of research groups, and independent confirmation is limited.
Laboratory work uses lymphocyte and immune cell lines, with chromatin condensation measured by microscopy, histone modification and DNA methylation assays, flow cytometry for activation markers, and qPCR of immune genes. Dipeptide uptake can be followed with labelled analogues, and identity is checked by mass spectrometry. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder in a 20mg vial.

Questions
What is Vilon made of?
Vilon is the dipeptide Lys-Glu (KE), the shortest sequence among the bioregulator peptides. It is a single defined compound, not a tissue extract.
How is Vilon supplied and stored?
It is supplied as a lyophilised powder in a 20mg vial. Keep it cold, dry and away from light, and reconstitute with a suitable laboratory diluent only when the material is needed.
Is Vilon a medicine?
No. It is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a medicine, food or supplement, and it is not for human or animal use. Buyers must be aged 18 or over.
