Hess SM, Young EF, Miller KR, Vincent BG, Buntzman AS, Collins EJ, Frelinger JA, Hess PR (2013) Deletion of naive T cells recognizing the minor histocompatibility antigen HY with toxin-coupled peptide-MHC class I tetramers inhibits cognate CTL responses and alters immunodominance. Transpl Immunol 29(1-4):138-145. doi: 10.1016/j.trim.2013.10.005
Summary: The authors utilized biotinylated peptide-MHC class I tetramers with Streptavidin-ZAP (Cat. #IT-27) to selectively delete a specific population of alloreactive T cells in mice. Animals received iv 33-pmol injections of the toxic tetramer, and the data indicate that these toxic tetramers can prevent the induction of donor-specific responses that result in organ rejection.
