Abstract SV40 large tumor Ag (Tag) contains four H-2b-restricted (I, II/III, IV, and V) CTL epitopes. A hierarchy exists among these CTL epitopes. CTL directed against epitopes I, II/III, and IV are readily detected following immunization of H-2b mice with SV40, Tag-transformed syngeneic cells, or a vaccinia recombinant that expresses full-length Tag, while epitope V-specific CTL are not. The mechanisms that define this hierarchy remain unknown. Initial studies have shown that the locations of epitopes I and V within SV40 Tag do not determine the immunological potencies of these epitopes. Like

Identification of B-cell epitopes is a fundamental step for development of epitope-based vaccines, therapeutic antibodies, and diagnostic tools. Epitope-based antibodies are currently the most promising class of biopharmaceuticals. In the last decade, in-depth in silico analysis and categorization of the experimentally identified epitopes stimulated development of algorithms for epitope prediction. Recently, various in silico tools are employed in attempts to predict B-cell epitopes based on sequence and/or structural data. The main objective of epitope identification is to replace an antigen

Abstract The metalloprotease ADAMTS13 cleaves multimeric von Willebrand factor (VWF) to regulate VWF-mediated thrombus formation. We planned to search core epitopes of ADAMTS13 that is required for its binding to VWF. We constructed a random cDNA fragment library expressing various peptides of ADAMTS13 on the surface of lambda phage and screened the library using immobilized VWF as a probe. After the first screening, the C-terminus of the spacer domain from Arg670 to Glu684 (termed as epitope-1) and the middle of the cysteine-rich domain from Arg484 to Arg507 (epitope-2) were determined as epi

ABSTRACT The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response to wild-type simian virus 40 large tumor antigen (Tag) in C57BL/6 (H2b ) mice is directed against three H2-Db -restricted epitopes, I, II/III, and V, and oneH2-Kb -restricted epitope, IV. Epitopes I, II/III, and IV are immunodominant, while epitope V is immunorecessive. We investigated whether this hierarchical response was established in vivo or was due to differential expansion in vitro by using direct enumeration of CD8+ T lymphocytes with Tag epitope/major histocompatibility complex class I tetramers and intracellular gamma interferon staining.

Abstract A cell-free antigen processing system for MHC class II was recently reported that has proved to be effective in identifying physiologically relevant CD4+ T cell epitopes from proteins (Hartman/Kim, et al. Nat Med. 16, pp1333-40 (2010)). This system has also provided insights into the mechanism of epitope selection (Kim, et al. Nat Commun. 5:5369 (2014)). We applied this system to a mixture of two different antigens, H5N1-HA1 and LSA-NRC of malaria to examine if there would be a competition for epitope capture. While each dominant epitope from either protein was identified in the syste

Abstract Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are critical for control of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in humans and mice. Recently, we identified a new H-2Kd- restricted subdominant epitope in the RSV M2 protein. This finding allowed us to study the frequency of T lymphocytes responding two H-2Kd-restricted epitopes, M282–90 and M2127–135, following RSV infection in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. The ratio of T lymphocytes during the peak CTL response to RSV infection that were specific for immunodominant or subdominant was approximately 3:1 in the spleen and 10:1 in the lun

ABSTRACT Taking advantage of the fact that plasmid DNA encoding a single cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope can induce CTLs, we examined the influence of T-cell responses to dominant epitopes on those to a subdominant epitope derived from Listeria monocytogenes. Our data suggest that interaction between T cells against dominant and subdominant epitopes does not operate in the generation of the hierarchy. Furthermore, we found that a single dominant epitope is sufficient for the induction of protective immunity.

Adaptive immunity is mediated by T- and B-cells, which are immune cells capable of developing pathogen-specific memory that confers immunological protection. Memory and effector functions of B- and T-cells are predicated on the recognition through specialized receptors of specific targets (antigens) in pathogens. More specifically, B- and T-cells recognize portions within their cognate antigens known as epitopes. There is great interest in identifying epitopes in antigens for a number of practical reasons, including understanding disease etiology, immune monitoring, developing diagnosis assays

ABSTRACT There is considerable interest in the potential of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent antigen-specific CD4+ T cells to act as direct effectors controlling EBV-induced B lymphoproliferations. Such activity would require direct CD4+ T-cell recognition of latently infected cells through epitopes derived from endogenously expressed viral proteins and presented on the target cell surface in association with HLA class II molecules. It is therefore important to know how often these conditions are met. Here we provide CD4+ epitope maps for four EBV nuclear antigens, EBNA1, -2, -3A, and -3C, and
