Localization, Quantitation, and In Situ Detection of Specific Peptide–MHC Class I Complexes Using a Monoclonal Antibody

Open access

Abstract

CD8+ T lymphocytes recognize antigens as short peptides bound to MHC class I molecules. Available methods cannot determine the number and distribution of these ligands on individual cells or detect antigen-presenting cells in tissues. Here we describe a method for eliciting and identifying monoclonal antibodies specific for a particular peptide-MHC class I combination. One such antibody can identify antigen complexes with a limit of detection approaching that of T cells. We used this antibody to determine the number of peptide-class I complexes generated upon viral infection, to identify antigen-presenting cells in cell mixtures, to determine the site of peptide-MHC class I interaction inside cells, and to visualize cells bearing specific peptide-MHC class I complexes after in vivo infection. Similar antibodies may prove useful for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

  • The amount of SIINFEKL/MHC complexes required for induction of robust IFN-γ secretion of specific T cells in this particular system is 56 pmol.

    “(having been reported as the amount required for induction of robust IFN-␥ secretion of specific T cells in this particular system 17 )”

    From Modification of antigen-encoding RNA increases stability, translational efficacy, and T-cell stimulatory capacity of dendritic cells (2006) · cites this paper as [17]

    In “Sensitivity of Ligand Detection” (page unavailable), the paper compares SIINFEKL concentrations with IFN-γ secretion by a specific CD8+ T-cell line. Our copy discusses minimal concentrations for measurable secretion, but does not establish 56 pmol as an amount required for robust secretion; it reports peptide concentrations in pM, not amounts in pmol.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
