Abstract
We designed conditional ligands restricted to HLA-B*08:01, 2B*35:01, and 2B*44:05
and proved the use of a conditional ligand previously designed for HLA-B*15:02
together with HLA-B*15:01. Furthermore, we compared the detection capabilities of
specific HLA-B*15:01-restricted T cells using the HLA-B*15:01 and HLA-B*15:02
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) multimers and found remarkable differences
in the staining patterns detected by flow cytometry. These new conditional ligands
greatly add to the application of MHC-based technologies in the analyses of T-cell recognition
as they represent frequently expressed HLA-B molecules. This expansion of
conditional ligands is important to allow T-cell detection over a wide range of HLA
restrictions, and provide comprehensive understanding of the T-cell recognition in a
given context.
