项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Each naïve cell within the T cell repertoire expresses a unique T cell receptor (TCR) that allows it to recognize peptide antigens in the context of major histocompatibility (pMHC) molecules. TCR-pMHC interactions are the chief determinants of long-lived adaptive immunity against microbial infections and cancer. The use of pMHC tetramers to identify and study T cells expressing TCRs of high affinity for their cognate ligand has been transformational for our understanding of T cell-mediated immunity. However, problems with their production and a failure of these reagents to detect T cells expressing low affinity TCRs have led to significant limits on our knowledge of T cell responses. Here we propose to develop a technique that can be readily used to make a broad range of pMHC and detect T cells expressing TCRs of low affinity for their cognate pMHC.

项目摘要 T细胞库中的每个幼稚细胞都表达一个独特的T细胞接收器（TCR），允许它识别在主要组织相容性（PMHC）分子的背景下，肽抗原。 TCR-PMHC相互作用是长寿命适应性免疫学针对微生物感染和癌症的首席决定者。 PMHC的使用识别和研究表达高亲和力TCR的T型细胞的四聚体已是其同源配体的转化，以理解T细胞介导的免疫力。但是，他们的生产问题这些试剂未能检测出表达低亲和力TCR的T细胞已导致对我们对T细胞反应的了解。在这里，我们建议开发一种可以轻易用于制作的技术广泛的PMHC和检测到表达其同源PMHC低亲和力的TCR的T细胞。
