  • Method for the detection of antigen presenting cells
    Patent number: 5595881
    Abstract: This invention provides a novel and rapid method for isolating MHC:antigen-restricted T cells. The method comprises the steps of (a) providing an isolated MHC:peptide complex wherein said complex is bound to a solid support; (b) contacting the complex with the biological sample containing T lymphocytes to form a MHC:peptide:T cell complex; (c) removing the MHC:peptide:T cell complex from the peripheral blood; and (d) separating the bound T lymphocytes from the MHC:peptide:T cell complex. The T-cells can be used to detect the presence, in a biological sample, of antigen presenting cells bearing a preselected MHC:antigen complex.
