Abstract
Novel compounds carrying ligands capable of binding to counter receptors on relevant target cells are disclosed. The compounds possess a number of advantageous features, rendering them very suitable for a wide range of applications, including use as detection systems, detection of relevant target cells as well as a number of other methods. In particular, novel MHC complexes comprising one or more MHC molecules containing one or morederived peptides are disclosed. The possibility of presenting to the target cells a plurality of MHC-peptide complexes makes the MHC complexes according to the present invention an extremely powerful tool e.g. in the field of therapy and diagnosis. The invention generally relates to the sample-mounted use of MHC complexes and MHC multimers. Also comprised by the invention is the field of therapy and vaccine, including therapeutic/vaccine methods and therapeutic/vaccine compositions.
