Preparation of peptide–MHC and T-cell receptor dextramers by biotinylated dextran doping

Peptide–major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) multimers enable the detection, characterization, and isolation of antigen-specific T-cell subsets at the single-cell level via flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. These labeling reagents exploit a multivalent scaffold to increase the avidity o...
