To study the interaction of the TCR with its ligand, the complex of a MHC molecule and an antigenic peptide, we modified a TCR contact residue of a H-2Kd-restricted antigenic peptide with photoreactive 4-azidobenzoic acid. The photoreactive group was a

A novel procedure is presented describing the induction of antigen-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vivo, that uses as immunogen syngeneic Concanavalin A stimulated spleen cells expressing H-2Kd (Kd) molecules photocrosslinked with a photoreactive peptide derivative. The Kd restricted Plasmodium
Chitosan (CS) was covalently immobilized onto polylactic acid (PLA) film surface using the photosensitive hetero-bifunctional crosslinking reagent, 4-azidobenzoic acid, which was previously bonded to chitosan by reaction between an acid group of the crosslinking reagent and a free amino group
Photo-reactive poly(vinyl alcohol) (PRPVA) was synthesized by introduction of phenyl azido groups into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and applied for surface modification. PRPVA was grafted onto cell culture plate surface homogeneously or in a micropattern. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured

Hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS), a water-soluble chitosan derivate, was modified by introducing photoreactive azide groups (4-azidobenzoic acid, Az-) to the amino groups of HPCS, resulting in a photocrosslinkable Az-HPCS. Novel porous chitosan scaffolds thus were fabricated by ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation
