Identification of equine herpesvirus-1 antigens recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) causes serious disease in horses throughout the world, despite the frequent use of vaccines. CTLs are thought to be critical for protection from primary and reactivating latent EHV-1 infections. However, the antigen-specificity of EHV-1-specific CTLs is unknown. The aim of this study was to identify EHV-1 genes that encode proteins containing CTL epitopes and to det...
متن کاملHuman tumor antigens recognized by T lymphocytes
W e have come a long way since the identification of the first human tumor antigen recognized by autologous CTL. This report provides a brief appraisal of these antigens and their potential for cancer immunotherapy. Our comments will be restricted to nonviral antigens. The initial work carried out on mouse tumors revealed two possible mechanisms for generating new antigens that might be suflfic...
متن کاملTheileria parva candidate vaccine antigens recognized by immune bovine cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
East Coast fever, caused by the tick-borne intracellular apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva, is a highly fatal lymphoproliferative disease of cattle. The pathogenic schizont-induced lymphocyte transformation is a unique cancer-like condition that is reversible with parasite removal. Schizont-infected cell-directed CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) constitute the dominant protective bovine...
متن کاملAntigens recognized by T-lymphocytes on human tumours.
Tumour-specific cytolytic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) have been obtained in several human tumour types, mainly melanoma. By using a genetic approach based on the transfection of genomic or cDNA libraries, the genes encoding a number of human tumour antigens have been cloned. This has led to the identification of antigenic peptides presented by tumour cells on various HLA class-I molecules. On the basi...
متن کاملSelf glycosphingolipids: new antigens recognized by autoreactive T lymphocytes.
T cells may recognize glycolipids and lipids of bacterial and self origin associated with the CD1 antigen-presenting molecules. Understanding the mechanisms governing CD1-self glycolipid interaction will provide information on the molecular rules of glycolipid presentation and suggest new approaches to immunotherapy.
