Mitochondrial Antigen Presentation in RAW macrophages

By Ahmed Fahmy, Camberly Hernandez
View Published Protocol

Output Details

Description
This protocol details methods for 3-day Mitochondrial Antigen Presentation Assay in a murine macrophage cell line (RAW) that expresses a glycoprotein B (gB) of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) targeted to the mitochondrial matrix (mito-gB). A gB-specific CD8+ T cell hybridoma recognizing the gB498–505peptide loaded on MHC class I molecules is also used to monitor antigen presentation through a beta-galactosidase assay kit.
