Identification of an HLA-A*0201-restricted CD8+ T-cell epitope SSp-1 of SARS-CoV spike protein.
A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV), has been identified as the causal agent of SARS. Spike (S) protein is a major structural glycoprotein of the SARS virus and a potential target for SARS-specific cell-mediated immune responses. A panel of S protein-derived peptides was tested for their binding affinity to HLA-A*0201 molecules. Peptid...
متن کاملSARS–associated Coronavirus Replication in Cell Lines
Given the potential for laboratory-associated severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infections, we must know which cell lines are susceptible to the virus. We investigated 21 cell lines routinely used for virus isolation or research. After infection with SARS-CoV, cells were observed for cytopathic effects, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was u...
متن کاملIdentification of CD8 T Cell Epitopes Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Although the effective immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis, Mtb) is primarily due to cell-mediated immunity, the mechanisms by which T cells participate in the control of infection are still not completely understood. The importance of CD8+ T cells in the immune response to tuberculosis has been recognized by many researchers [1]. Experimental evidence from the m...
متن کاملIdentification of T-cell epitopes of SARS-coronavirus for development of peptide-based vaccines and cellular immunity assessment methods.
1. Subjects recovered from SARS-CoV infection retain memory of cellular immune response to epitopes spanning over a few regions of the viral nucleoprotein. Ten such epitopes were identified. 2. The majority of epitopes were predominantly recognised by CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and elicited persistent memory response lasting at least 2 years. 3. There is potential to use the nucleoprotein of SARSCo...
متن کاملPeptide Mimicrying Between SARS Coronavirus Spike Protein and Human Proteins Reacts with SARS Patient Serum
Molecular mimicry, defined as similar structures shared by molecules from dissimilar genes or proteins, is a general strategy used by pathogens to infect host cells. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a new human respiratory infectious disease caused by SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV plays an important role in the virus entry into a cell. In this study, ...
