Non-classical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules are non-polymorphic proteins implicated in both innate and adaptive immune responses.1,2 While classical MHCs present antigens to CD8+/CD4+ cells for further immune processing, non-classical MHCs also mediate activation or inhibition in natural killer (NK) cells.3 MBL
MHC Class I Tetramers
T cell receptors (TCRs) expressed on the surface of T cells specifically recognise and bind to complexes of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and peptide fragments expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. CD8+ T cells, also called cytotoxic T
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): Continued Research for the Most Prevalent Respiratory Virus Among Children
RSV is a significant respiratory virus in young children, & is the primary cause of hospitalisations, particularly bronchiolitis & pneumonia.
Correlation Between HLA Typing and Immune Monitoring in Human Disease
The human leukocyte antigen system, aka human major histocompatibility complex, was named after its discovery with alloantibodies against leukocytes.
CD1d Tetramers for Monitoring Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells
MBL International offers CD1d tetramers prepared by tetramerisation of complexes of CD1d and β2m by PE- or APC- labelled streptavidin.
Is your drug candidate able to reverse the T Cell Exhaustion-like state in MBL’s in vitro functional screening assay?
The process of T cell exhaustion & how it can be harnessed for immuno-oncology drug discovery and for immune checkpoint screening of drug candidates.
Nonhuman primates as preclinical models for evaluating immune function – MBL International
Nonhuman primates (NHP) resemble humans in multiple ways including similarities in genomics, immunogenetics, and age-related changes in immune function. These characteristics are critical to the establishment of a relevant model in which to conduct preclinical studies to optimize the efficacy
Human MHC Class II QuickSwitch™ Platform is used to Identify SARS-CoV-2 Virus Derived Peptides
In a previous blog post (How to screen SARS-CoV-2 peptides to facilitate T cell research) MBL International described how the immune system samples all of the pathogenic proteins by looking at the small fragments of each protein and determining whether that
