TCRs recognize and bind to complexes composed of MHC molecules and specific peptides expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. We have tetramerized and biotinylated with streptavidin to maintain stable binding to multiple TCR, enabling MHC/peptide tetramers to be used
Monomers
Biotinylated MHC monomers, the building blocks of MHC tetramers, are now available for tetramer construction flexibility and novel applications. See All Monomer Products
The Use of Immunotherapy in Treating HHV-6 Infection
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a virus that exists as 2 species, HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6B, the more widespread species, is a pathogen infecting more than 90% of individuals world-wide during childhood and then establishing a latent and lifelong infection.
Tips for Staining Rare Antigens with MHC Tetramers
When performing staining with MHC tetramers, there may be certain cases where the staining is unclear. An example could be in certain cases where an antigen-specific T cell population of interest has a low frequency. The following tips discussed in
