OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Finally: empty class I molecules
Empty MHC class I molecules are known to exist, but they are difficult to investigate. I will explain what we have learnt – using a novel antibody micropatterning two-hybrid assay – about the ability of free heavy chains to form in cis clusters on the cell surface. In the second part, I will focus on our recent development of stable recombinant class I molecules . They can be used to make empty tetramers that load within seconds with any added peptide, with interesting applications in tumor epitope screening.
