Comparative analysis of predicted HLA binding of immunoglobulin idiotype sequences indicates T cell-mediated immunosurveillance in follicular lymphoma.

چکیده
Active immunization with the idiotype of follicular lymphoma induces tumor-specific immunity. T cells induced in vivo by idiotype vaccination recognize human leukocyte antigen (HLA)--restricted hypervariable but not conserved idiotype peptides. We hypothesized that idiotype-directed T-cell immunity occurs naturally and performed a reverse immunology analysis of idiotype HLA binding in 39 follicular lymphoma patients. For every idiotype, the sum of HLA-A or -B binding scores of the 20 highest-scoring peptides was calculated for all 39 HLA types through the BIMAS algorithm. The idiotype sum score of every patient's lymphoma was compared on the respective patient's HLA type to the mean of the sum scores of the remaining 38 idiotypes. Autologous idiotypes had lower immunogenicity than allogeneic idiotypes. Differential immunogenicity resided predominantly in all 3 complementarity-determining regions rather than in framework peptides. Idiotype immunogenicity was not changed by somatic hypermutation. These findings indicate T cell-mediated immunosurveillance of follicular lymphoma directed specifically against individual idiotype epitopes.

Lymphoma-derived immunoglobulin idiotype (Id) is a well-characterized, tumor-specific antigen on B-cell malignancies. Immunotherapy using lymphoma immunoglobulin can lead to clinical responses mostly associated with anti-Id antibody. We cloned the Id from B-cell lymphomas, sequenced them, and used bioinformatics to select autologous MHC class I binding peptides from somatically mutated regions ...

Because of their hypervariable regions and somatic mutations, the antigen receptor molecules of lymphomas (idiotypes) are tumor-specific antigens and attractive targets for antilymphoma immunotherapy. For the optimal induction of human idiotype-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL), idiotype was presented to CD8(+) peripheral blood mononuclear cells by monocyte-derived autologous dendritic cells (DC...
