Multimerized pMHC is able to bind to TCR with high affinity • pMHC dimer: • Promote or inhibite antigen-specific allogeneic T cells • pMHC tetramer: Detect antigen-specific T cells 图1. pMHC四聚体结构示意图 图2. pMHC二聚体结构示意图
pMHC dimer:promotion or inhibition of antigen-specific allogeneic T cells 1. Antigen-specific inhibition Soluble pMHC dimer binds to TCR without co-stimulatory signal 2. Antigen-specific promotion Cell membrane-bound pMHC dimer raise allo-restricted peptide-specific T cells
Cumulative effect of T cells specific to each peptide epitope could account for the strength and diversity of the allo-response • Xiufang Weng, Zhihui Liang, Xiaoling Lu, Maohua Zhong, Shengjun Lu, Caie Zhang, Jing Deng, Xiongwen Wu*, Feili Gong.Peptide-specific, allogeneic T cell response in vitro induced by a self-peptide binding to HLA-A2.Sci China Ser C-Life Sci. 2007, 50:203-211 Many studies show that allogeneic T-cell responses like syngeneic T-cell responses, are largely peptide-specific

CD8lowCD28- T cells: a human CD8 Ts subset with alloantigen specificity induced by soluble HLA-A2 dimer in vitro
The dimer-expanded CD8lowCD28- T cells exhibit suppression on allo-reactive T cells
The CD8lowCD28- T cells exhibit alloantigen-specific suppression which requires cell-cell contact
Elevated membrane-bound TGF-β1 expression is involved in suppression of the CD8lowCD28‑ T cells
The frequency of CD8lowCD28- T cells is positively associated with plasma levels of soluble HLA class I in human peripheral blood

Summary • Allogeneic T-cell responses, as syngeneic T-cell responses, are largely pMHC-specific • Soluble pMHC dimer can inhibit T-cell response in an antigen-specific manner • Membrane-associated pMHC dimer is able to raise allo-restricted peptide-specific T cells
