ANALYSIS, ISOLATION AND ACTIVATION OF ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC CD4+ AND CD8+ T CELLS BY SOLUBLE MHC-PEPTIDE COMPLEXES

T cells constitute the core of adaptive cellular immunity and protect higher organisms against pathogen infections and cancer. Monitoring of disease progression as well as prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines and immunotherapies call for conclusive detection, analysis and sorting of antigen-specific...
