Assay Principle
This protocol is designed to evaluate the efficiency of peptide- HLA-I interaction and complex formation. The assay is based on detecting the β2-microglobulin (β2m) light chain subunit of recombinant HLA class I (HLA-I) complexes, where the heavy chain has been biotin tagged. These tagged complexes are subsequently captured by streptavidin coated beads, labelled with PE-conjugated anti-human β2m, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Since peptide-HLA-I complex formation is entirely peptide dependent, bead-associated signals will only be detected if the peptide in question supports the folding of the HLA-I allotype of interest; peptides that efficiently support folding will give strong signals whereas peptides that support folding sub- optimally, or not at all, will give moderate to non-detectable signals.
