Identification of a unique antigen peptide pRL1 on BALB/c RL male 1 leukemia recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and its relation to the Akt oncogene
نویسندگان
چکیده
BALB/c radiation leukemia RL male 1 is an immunogenic tumor. We established bulk and cloned cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines from regressor (BALB/c x C57BL/6)F1 (CB6F1) spleen cells that recognized RL male 1 specifically. We then obtained antigen peptide recognized by CTL from RL male 1 by acid extraction. Analysis of the acid extract by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a semipreparative C18 column revealed that fractions eluted in 23 min (peak a) and 26 min (peak b) showed sensitization activity on the P815 target for specific CTL. On further purification of these fractions by HPLC and direct sequencing by Edman degradation, we identified the CTL-recognizing RL male 1 peptide pRL1a (IPGLPLSL) in peak a and its possible precursor peptide pRL1b (SIIPGLPLSL) in peak b. Sequence homology indicated that these peptides were derived from the 5' untranslated region of c-akt oncogene.

Cytotoxic T-cells were derived from the peritoneal cavity of a C57BL/6 mouse immunized with BALB/c sarcoma Meth A and from the spleens of BALB/c x C57BL/6 F1 (hereafter called CB6F1) mice immunized with BALB/c leukemia RL male 1. The cells were cultured in interleukin 2 and cloned by limiting dilution, and their specificity was determined by direct tests and competitive inhibition assays. C57BL...
متن کاملMechanisms of in vivo generation of cytotoxic effector cells against tumor in tumor-bearing mice.
Our previous study showed that spleen cells from BALB/c mice bearing RL male 1 lymphoma inhibited the growth of RL male 1 lymphoma by the Winn-type adoptive transfer assay. Although this antitumor activity was mediated by the T-cell subset manifesting the surface phenotype of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), this antitumor activity of spleen cells was not detected by the in vitro cell-mediated c...
متن کاملIdentification of C-met oncogene as a broadly expressed tumor-associated antigen recognized by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
PURPOSE C-Met proto-oncogene is a receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates the oncogenic activities of the hepatocyte growth factor. Using a DNA chip analysis of tumor samples from patients with renal cell carcinoma and sequencing of peptides bound to the HLA-A*0201 molecules on tumor cells a peptide derived from the c-Met protein was identified recently. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We used this novel ...

Both CD4(+) type 1 helper T (Th1) cells and CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play pivotal roles in protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Here, we identified Th1 and CTL epitopes on a novel protective antigen, MPT51, in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. Mice were immunized with plasmid DNA encoding MPT51 by using a gene gun, and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) production from the immu...

The identification of antigenic peptides presented on the tumor cell surface by HLA class I molecules and recognized by tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes may lead to a peptide vaccine capable of inducing protective cellular immunity. We demonstrate that both HLA-A2-restricted breast and ovarian tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes recognize shared antigenic peptides. At least one of thes...
