A novel amino acid analysis method using derivatization of multiple functional groups followed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.

Analyst 140(6) , 1965-73, (2015)

We have developed a novel amino acid analysis method using derivatization of multiple functional groups (amino, carboxyl, and phenolic hydroxyl groups). The amino, carboxyl, and phenolic hydroxyl grou...

Functional roles of TAP and tapasin in the assembly of M3-N-formylated peptide complexes.

J. Immunol. 167(3) , 1507-14, (2001)

H2-M3 is a MHC class Ib molecule with a high propensity to bind N-formylated peptides. Due to the paucity of endogenous Ag, the majority of M3 is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon addit...

Immunization with f-Met peptides induces immune reactivity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Tuber. Lung Dis. 80(1) , 5-13, (2000)

Objective: To determine whether synthetic peptides containing an amino terminal formyl-methionine residue and corresponding to the sequence of several proteins produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, ...
