Article Title: Using peptide-exchange systems to interrogate peptide-specific KIR binding to HLA Class I
doi: 10.64898/2026.03.03.708729
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Display of ULBP1 and CD155 on CombiCells detected by mAbs and NKG2D-Fc, and DNAM-1-Fc, respectively. (B&C) KIR2DL1+ and KIR2DL1-NK-cell degranulation (CD107a upregulation) in response to ULBP1, CD155, and HLA-C*05:01 displayed on CombiCells. (C) Three types of HLA-C*05:01 were tested, all containing P2 (IIDKSGSTV); wild-type, open and dipeptide exchanged. Data from three independent experiments with NK cells from separate donors are shown.
Article Snippet: For binding assays, APC-conjugated Fc fusion protein (NKG2D-Fc (R&D Systems, Cat. No: 1299-NK) or DNAM-1-Fc (R&D Systems, Cat. No: # 666-DN) or KIR-Fc (R&D Systems, KIR2DL1-Fc (Cat. No: 1844-KR-050), KIR2DL3-Fc (Cat. No: 2014-KR-050), KIR2DS4-Fc (Cat. No: 1847-KR-050) (3.6 μg mL -1 ) was added at 25 μL per well and incubated for 30 min at 4 °C in the dark.
