Naturally processed viral peptides recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes on cells chronically infected by human immunodeficiency virus type 1
We have established long-term cultures of several cell lines stably and uniformly expressing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in order to (a) identify naturally processed HIV-1 peptides recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) from HIV-1-seropositive individuals and (b) consider the hypothesis that naturally occurring epitope densities on HIV-infected cells may limit their lysis b...
متن کاملEvidence for the Chronic in Vivo Production of Human T Cell Leukemia Virus Type I Rof and Tof Proteins from Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Directed against Viral Peptides
Human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is a persistent virus that causes adult T cell leukemia and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-I-associated myelopathy. Studies on rabbits have shown that viral proteins encoded by the open reading frames pX-I and pX-II are required for the establishment of the persistent infection. To examine the in vivo production of these proteins in humans, we have...
متن کاملA broad cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to influenza type B virus presented by multiple HLA molecules.
The HLA restriction and epitope specificity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) involved in recovery from influenza type B infection have not been extensively characterized. Here lymphocytes obtained from a healthy individual contained virus-specific CTL restricted by class I HLA molecules, HLA-A1, A2, B7 and B8, and the class II HLA molecules, HLA-DR1 and DR3. Four conserved viral epitopes were p...
متن کاملIdentification of naturally processed viral nonapeptides allows their quantification in infected cells and suggests an allele-specific T cell epitope forecast
Virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) recognize virus-derived peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules on virus-infected cells. Such peptides have been isolated from infected cells and were compared to synthetic peptides. We found previously the Kd- or Db-restricted natural influenza nucleoprotein peptides to coelute on reversed phase high performanc...
متن کاملPatr-A and B, the orthologues of HLA-A and B, present hepatitis C virus epitopes to CD8+ cytotoxic T cells from two chronically infected chimpanzees
Common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) show a disease progression similar to that observed for human patients. Although most infected animals develop a chronic hepatitis, virus persistence is associated with an ongoing immune response, for which the beneficial or detrimental effects are uncertain. Lines of virus-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL) hav...
