The kinetic stability of peptides bound onto MHC class I molecules is a critical parameter that helps shape their interaction with immune receptors and consequently their antigenic potential. We present here a method for measuring the kinetic stability and sensitivity to proteolytic degradation of peptides bound onto MHC class I molecules after in vitro refolding, by analyzing the time-resolved MALDI-TOF Mass Spec signal from the peptide, using the whole MHC-I/peptide complex in situ. This approach can provide important information on the dynamic nature of the MHC-peptide interaction, the kinetic half-life of binding and the sensitivity of the peptide to external proteolytic digestion or other modifications.

摘要

The kinetic stability of peptides bound onto MHC class I molecules is a critical parameter that helps shape their interaction with immune receptors and consequently their antigenic potential. We present here a method for measuring the kinetic stability and sensitivity to proteolytic degradation of peptides bound onto MHC class I molecules after in vitro refolding, by analyzing the time-resolved MALDI-TOF Mass Spec signal from the peptide, using the whole MHC-I/peptide complex in situ. This approach can provide important information on the dynamic nature of the MHC-peptide interaction, the kinetic half-life of binding and the sensitivity of the peptide to external proteolytic digestion or other modifications.
