COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USING TERMINALLY LABELED PEPTIDES THAT BIND MHC CLASS I MOLECULES

摘要

The present invention provides peptides that bind to MHC class I molecules. The peptide has a core of 7 to 14 amino acids linked at either its N- or C- terminus to at least two amino acids. The terminal-most additional amino acid contains a reporter group. Thepeptides may be used in a variety of methods, including for tissue typing, vaccine development, or to isolate MHC class I molecules.
