Superdominance among immunodominant H-2Kb-restricted epitopes and reversal by dendritic cell-mediated antigen delivery.
To examine possible interference patterns between immunodominant CTL Ags, we analyzed the response to mixtures of five well-characterized H-2Kb-restricted epitopes, each of which had earlier been described as immunodominant within its antigenic system. Clear patterns of dominance were observed between peptides in the mixture, with the CTL response focusing on the Sendai virus nucleoprotein 324-...
متن کاملInfection with Trypanosoma cruzi restricts the repertoire of parasite-specific CD8+ T cells leading to immunodominance.
Interference or competition between CD8(+) T cells restricted by distinct MHC-I molecules can be a powerful means to establish an immunodominant response. However, its importance during infections is still questionable. In this study, we describe that following infection of mice with the human pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi, an immunodominant CD8(+) T cell immune response is developed directed to a...
متن کاملMutational Escape in HIV-1 CTL Epitopes Leads to Increased Binding to Inhibitory Myelomonocytic MHC Class I Receptors
Escape mutations in HIV-1 cytotoxic T cell (CTL) epitopes can abrogate recognition by the TCR of HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells, but may also change interactions with alternative MHC class I receptors. Here, we show that mutational escape in three HLA-A11-, B8- and B7- restricted immunodominant HIV-1 CTL epitopes consistently enhances binding of the respective peptide/MHC class I complex to Immuno...
متن کاملCpG-DNA activates in vivo T cell epitope presenting dendritic cells to trigger protective antiviral cytotoxic T cell responses.
MHC class I-restricted T cell epitopes lack immunogenicity unless aided by IFA or CFA. In an attempt to circumvent the known inflammatory side effects of IFA and CFA, we analyzed the ability of immunostimulatory CpG-DNA to act as an adjuvant for MHC class I-restricted peptide epitopes. Using the immunodominant CD8 T cell epitopes, SIINFEKL from OVA or KAVYNFATM (gp33) from lymphocytic choriomen...
متن کاملLimiting dilution comparison of the repertoires of high and low responder MHC-restricted T cells
To approach the mechanism that determines Ir gene-controlled high or low responsiveness to whole proteins, such as sperm whale myoglobin (SWMb), we compared the repertoires of high and low responder haplotype-restricted T cells for different myoglobin epitopes by limiting dilution frequency analysis. Poisson analysis was performed using long-term limiting dilution cell lines of (B10.BR [low] X ...
