Cd1d–Glycolipid Tetramers
Natural killer (NK) T cells are a subset of mature T lymphocytes that express an a/b TCR together with markers characteristic of NK cells such as NK1.1 (1, 2). In contrast to conventional T cells, which recognize small peptides bound to polymorphic MHC class I or class II molecules, TCRs on NK T cells recognize glycolipids associated with the monomorphic MHC-like CD1d molecule. As expected from...
متن کاملMHC class II tetramers.
MHC class II tetramers have emerged as an important tool for characterization of the specificity and phenotype of CD4 T cell immune responses, useful in a large variety of disease and vaccine studies. Issues of specific T cell frequency, biodistribution, and avidity, coupled with the large genetic diversity of potential class II restriction elements, require targeted experimental design. Transl...
متن کاملScaling properties of universal tetramers.
We evidence the existence of a universal correlation between the binding energies of successive four-boson bound states (tetramers), for large two-body scattering lengths (a), related to an additional scale not constrained by three-body Efimov physics. Relevant to ultracold atom experiments, the atom-trimer relaxation peaks for |a|→∞ when the ratio between the tetramer and trimer energies is ≃4...
متن کاملThe formation pathway of i-motif tetramers
The i-motif is a four-stranded structure formed by two intercalated parallel duplexes containing hemiprotonated C*C(+) pairs. In order to describe the sequence of reactions by which four C-rich strands associate, we measured the formation and dissociation rates of three [TC(n)](4) tetramers (n = 3, 4 and 5), their dissociation constant and the reaction order for tetramer formation by NMR. We fi...
متن کاملRupture mechanics of vimentin intermediate filament tetramers
Together with the globular proteins microtubules and microfilaments, intermediate filaments are one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. It consists of a dimeric coiled-coil building block, assembled in a very precise, hierarchical fashion into tetramers, forming filaments with characteristic dimensions on the order of several micrometers. Here we focus on the ...
