Abstract: The present invention provides a peptide comprising an epitope, e.g. a T cell epitope, that comprises the amino acid sequence PYPQQQQPY or an epitope, e.g. a T cell epitope, that comprises the amino acid sequence PYPQQQQPY in which one or more of the Q residues is replaced by an E residue, wherein the peptide is not more than 50 amino acids in length. Conjugates or complexes comprising said peptides and an MHC molecule are also provided, together with various therapeutic and diagnostic uses of said peptides and complexes.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of antigen binding proteins such as antibodies, in particular those which bind to HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-glia-?1a, or which bind to HLA-DQ2.5:DQ2.5-glia-?2. The invention further relates to compositions and immunoconjugates comprising such antibodies and to methods of producing such antibodies. The invention also relates to methods and uses which employ such antibodies, for example in the treatment of celiac disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a vector construct comprising the following components: (i) a sequence encoding a signal peptide which directs proteins into the Tat secretory pathway; and (ii) a sequence encoding a fluorophore fused to a sequence encoding a pVIII phage coat protein. Nucleic acid molecules comprising components (i) and (ii) are also provided, together with phage particles comprising such vectors or nucleic acid molecules and expressing a fluorophore-pVIII fusion protein on the surface. Methods for producing such fluorescent phage particles are also provided.
