Quantification of peptide specific T cells with
fluorescently labeled MHC-Class-I-complexes
Tetrameric MHC-Class-I-complex Tetramer loaded
with a peptide
A T cell receptor (TCR) binds to a tetramer in
the same way as to a MHC-class-I epitope
presented by a tumor cell
37
Binding of tetramer was tested using anti-wt p53
CTL cell lines
CTL cell lines directed against anti-wt p53
epitopes
