During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).

Peptide exchange on MHC class I molecules mediated by small molecules
MHC class I-peptide complexes are usually stable for hours or even days. We have found that small molecules – for example certain dipeptides – that bind into the F pocket can dramatically accelerate peptide dissociation and replacement with exogenous peptides. This works on recombinant class I molecules, where the technology can be used to rapidly manufacture MHC multimers for T cell staining, and on cell surfaces, from which peptides can now be natively eluted.
