Identification of Plasmodium berghei novel liver stage CD8 T cell epitopes by caged MHC class I tetramer technology (43.30)

Abstract: Studies conducted in mice and humans have shown that IFN-γ+ CD8 T cell are the key effectors against liver-stage (LS) malaria; however, owing to complexities associated with the development of Plasmodia parasites, specificities of CD8 T cell effectors have been difficult to establish. Direct detection of Ag-specific CD8 T cells in high-throughput manner became possible with the development of caged MHC-tetramer technology, based on conditional photo-cleavable MHC class I ligands that can be displaced during UV… Show more
