MHC Peptide
MHC tetramer is a complex of four MHC molecules,
which are associated with a specific peptides and
bounded to a fluorochrome. The development of the
fluorescently labeled tetrameric MHCpeptide
complex has enabled the direct visualization,
quantification and phenotypic characterization of
antigen-specific T cells by using flow cytometry,
and has transformed scientists understanding of
cellular immune responses.
