Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2830940A1] Process for selecting ligands (A) of HLA (human leukocyte antigen)-DP4, is new. Process for selecting ligands (A) of HLA (human leukocyte antigen)-DP4 comprising: (a) incubating purified DP4 with a labeled peptide (I) in presence of different concentrations of test compounds; (b) separating complexes formed; (c) determining DP4-(I) complexes by measuring a signal from the label; and (d) selecting compounds having binding IC50 less than 1000 nM, corresponding to the concentration required to inhibit 50 % binding of (I). (I) has signal-to-noise ratio over 5, at 10 nM, in a direct binding test to DP4. Independent claims are also included for the following; (1) (A), natural or synthetic, organic or inorganic, identified by the novel process; (2) nucleic acid (II) that encodes (A) when these are peptides; (3) expression cassette (EC) containing at least one (II) and regulatory sequences; (4) vector containing (II) or EC; (5) cell transformed with at least one (II) or vector of (4); (6) diagnosing the immune state of an individual by in vitro contact between test sample and (A), then detecting CD4+ T cells specific for an antigen; (7) kit comprising at least one (A) and system for detecting antigen-specific CD4+ T cells; and (8) selecting antigen-specific CD4+ T cells by contacting cells with a fluorescently labeled tetramer, prepared from complexes between (A) and soluble DP4, then recovering cells that bind to the tetramer by flow cytometry.
