Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

Identification of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) associated tumor-specific peptides and immunomodulation of T cell tumors. 2) MHC I antigen processing and presentation in cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) cells. The research involves isolation, purification and characterization of MHC I self-peptides from a murine and human % cell lymphoma cell lines. Immunoaffinity purification, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), automated chemical sequencing and peptide synthesis have been used to identify and characterize octamer and nonamer self-peptides from a murine B cell lymphoma cell line. Similar techniques are used to isolate distinctive peptide antigens of CTCL cells and murine T cell tumors. The biological significance of isolated antigens is determined by cytotoxicity assays.
