ISOLATED MULTIMERIC COMPLEXES USEFUL IN ANALYSIS OF T CELLS, PEPTIDES USEFUL IN MAKING THE COMPLEXES, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention involves multicomponent complexes, which use useful in analysis of T cells. The complexes contain at least first and second binding partners, which bind to each other. The second binding partner engages a plurality of immune complexes, which comprise an NHC molecule, a beta 2 microglobulin molecule, and a peptide. Preferably, there are at least four of these immune complexes per multicomponent complex. These can be used to determine or to isolate cytolytic T cells.
