چکیده

The paramyxovirus pneumonia virus of mice (PVM) is a rodent model of human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) pathogenesis. Here we characterized the PVM-specific CD8(+) T-cell repertoire in susceptible C57BL/6 mice. In total, 15 PVM-specific CD8(+) T-cell epitopes restricted by H-2D(b) and/or H-2K(b) were identified. These data open the door for using widely profiled, genetically manipulated C57BL/6 mice to study the contribution of epitope-specific CD8(+) T cells to PVM pathogenesis.

Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CTL Epitopes Restricted by HLA-A*0201 in HHD Mice

CD8+ T cells are thought to play an important role in protective immunity to tuberculosis. The major histocompatibility complex class I subtype HLA-A*0201 is one of the most prevalent class I alleles, with a frequency of over 30% in most populations. HLA-A*0201 transgenic, H-2Db/mouse beta2-microglobulin double-knockout mice (HHD) which express human HLA-A*0201 but no mouse class I, was shown t...

Dengue virus protein recognition by virus-specific murine CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

The identification of the protein targets for dengue virus-specific T lymphocytes may be useful for planning the development of subunit vaccines against dengue. We studied the recognition by murine dengue virus-specific major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted, CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) of dengue virus proteins using recombinant vaccinia viruses containing segments of the de...

Single-epitope DNA vaccination prevents exhaustion and facilitates a broad antiviral CD8+ T cell response during chronic viral infection.

Induction of a monospecific antiviral CD8+ T cell response may pose a risk to the host due to the narrow T cell response induced. At the individual level, this may result in selection of CD8+ T cell escape variants, particularly during chronic viral infection. Second, prior immunization toward a single dominant epitope may suppress the response to other viral epitopes, and this may lead to incr...

Depletion of CD4+ T cells precipitates immunopathology in immunodeficient mice infected with a noncytocidal virus.

IFN-gamma-deficient (IFN-gamma(-/-)) mice inoculated with intermediate doses of a slowly replicating strain of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus become chronically infected. In such mice a hypercompensated CTL response is observed that partially controls virus replication. Here we have investigated whether CD4(+) Th cells are required to establish and maintain this new equilibrium. The absence...

Pathogenic potential of borna disease virus lacking the immunodominant CD8 T-cell epitope.

Borna disease virus (BDV) is a highly neurotropic, noncytolytic virus. Experimentally infected B10.BR mice remain healthy unless specific antiviral T cells that infiltrate the infected brain are triggered by immunization. In contrast, infected MRL mice spontaneously mount an antiviral T-cell response that can result in meningoencephalitis and neurological disease. The antiviral T cells may, alt...
