A multivalent VLP-based platform enables peptide-MHC display for precise detection and activation of antigen-specific T cells

@ScienceAdvances @hphan95 @ChildrensPhila @SgourakisLab
Excited to share my latest first-author manuscript, now available as a preprint on @biorxiv_immuno! We introduce VLP-Open HLA, a new protein-based nanoparticle platform for T-cell screening studies, leveraging SpyTag/SpyCatcher bioconjugation chemistry and engineered open MHC-I!
Tired of running separate experiments using ELIspots and tetramers? Then use VLP-Open HLA - a versatile nanoparticle platform that can screen for #Tcell responses in vitro. Using SpyTag/SpyCatcher chemistry to conjugate our loadable, open #MHC-I molecules on engineered protein-based nanoparticles, our platform can efficiently detect and activate antigen-specific T cells at scale.

1/ In two back-to-back papers, we present our de novo TRACeR platform for targeting MHC-I and MHC-II antigens
TRACeR for MHC-I: go.nature.com/4gcLzn5
TRACeR for MHC-II: go.nature.com/4gj5OQk

Proud to unveil TRACER-I, a de novo protein platform developed through 5 years of collaboration with @PossuHuangLab. By recognizing diverse #MHC-I antigens (cancer, autoimmune & pathogenic), we're paving the way for more accessible immunotherapies. Congratulations to @HaotianDu4 and the incredible Team from @StanfordBioX , @UPennAllergyImm and @CHOP_Research ! rdcu.be/d3qN9
My first-author paper on novel DPP-4 fluorescent probe design is now published in @ChemComm as part of their 60th Anniversary Collection! This was made possible by co-authors Yanan & Sam, my Ph.D. advisor, and everyone in the Petersson lab @PennChemistry

A paper published by my Ph.D. lab in ACS Bioconjugate Chem last month on the fluorescent unnatural amino acid acridon-2-ylalanine (Acd) synthesis and its applications features an analogous DPP-4 probe design, using Acd instead of coumarin as fluorophore.

New preprint alert! Our lab has captured the first glimpse of how #TAPBPR selects #antigens for #MHCI presentation. Focusing on a high-fidelity #immune checkpoint, our structural insights guide new approaches to #vaccine design and #cancer #immunotherapy.

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine – discovered that base-modified mRNA can be used to block activation of inflammatory reactions and increase protein production when mRNA is delivered to cells.

BREAKING NEWS
The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Penn's wording is misleading and has the potential to manipulate the reader.
Penn is missing a key aspect: they demoted her.
