Objective To analyze and determine the efficient T- and B-combined (T/B) antigenic epitopes in Helicobacter pylori adhesin A. Methods Recombinant HpaA (rHpaA) was expressed for immunizing rabbit to generate antiserum. T- and B-cell epitopes in HpaA molecule were predicted by using bioinformatic technique. The segments to encode T/B combined epitope peptides were amplified by PCR and the phage display systems of T/B combined epitopes were subsequently constructed. PEG/NaCl precipitation method was applied to extract the recombinant phage PⅢ (rPⅢ) that displayed T/B combined epitopes. By using either commercial IgG against whole-cell of Helicobacter pylori or rHpaA antiserum as the primary antibody, the T/B combined epitopes displayed in rP Ⅲ s were screened and identified by Western blot and ELISA. MTT was applied to determine the proliferation of rHpaA-immunized mouse splenocytes after stimulation of the different recombinant rPⅢ proteins. Results In the HpaA molecule there were five T/B combined epitopes: HpaA10, HpaA37, HpaA79, HpaA116 and HpaA143. All the T/B combined epitopes were successfully displayed on the surface of PⅢ protein of phage M13. The results of Western blot, ELISA and MTT confirmed that HpaA116 was the predominant antigenic epitope, both HpaA37 and HpaA79 were the efficient antigenic epitopes. However, HpaA10 and HpaA143 were identified as ineffective antigenic epitopes. Conclusion The phage display systems of T/B combined epitope peptides of H. pylori adhesin A have been successfully generated in this study. HpaA37 and HpaA79, especially HpaA116 are the efficient T/B combined antigenic epitopes in HpaA of H. pylori. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to find the experimental evidence that the precursor frequency of alloreactive CTLs is proportional to the number of the T-cell epitope specificities. The number of T-cell epitope specificities was manipulated by pulsing different number of HLA-A2 restricted peptide(s) onto the T2 cells, which acted as stimulating cells to elicit allo-reaction by co-culturing with peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of HLA-A2 negative individual. Ten HLA-A2 restricted peptides (all were normal cell components) were synthesized, and cell peptide extract was prepared by frozen and thawed.T2 cells loaded with different number of peptide(s) were co-cultured with PBLs of an HLA-A2 negative individual; the latter were stained with PKH67 in advance. Then the proliferation was monitored with flow cytometry, and the precursor frequency of the effector cells was analyzed by the ModFit Software. After 6 d of culture, no proliferation was observed in the bulk culture of PBL alone, and obvious proliferation took place when PBLs of the HLA-A2 negative were co-cultured with T2 cells loaded with or without loading peptide(s). The precursor frequency of the alloreactive CTLs was 0.052 819 for co-culture with T2 cells loaded without peptide; however it was 0.030 429 for T2 cells with EBV/ LMP2A and 0. 030 528 for T2 cells loaded with a single autogeneic peptide, and increased up to 0.144 942 for T2 cells loaded with 10 autogeneic peptides; the precursor frequency was 0.203 649 when co-cultured with T2 cells loaded with miscellaneous peptides extracted from the cytoplasm of T2 cells. This study reveals that the precursor frequency of alloreactive CTLs is proportional to the number of T-cell epitope specificities, and independent of the density of the allogeneic HLA ClassⅠmolecule. Our findings support the hypothesis that the alloreactive T cell populations comprise miscellaneous T cell clones; each is specific to corresponding pMHC. The novel constellation of peptides presented by allogeneic MHC molecules makes thousands of different epitopes, which account for the exceptional high precursor frequency of alloreactive T cells. 相似文献

Computational Prediction and Identification of Epstein-Barr Virus Latent Membrane Protein 2A Antigen-Specific CD8^+ T-Cell Epitopes 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Bing Wang Kun Yao Genyan Liu Fangyi Xie Feng Zhou Yun Chen 《Cellular & molecular immunology》2009,6(2):97-103
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a high incidence tumor in Southeast Asia. Among EBV encoded proteins, latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) is an important antigen for T cell therapy of EBV. In this study, we predicted six HLA-A2 restricted CTL candidate epitopes of LMP2A by SYFPEITHI, NetMHC and MHCPred methods combined with the polynomial method. Subsequently, biological functions of these peptides were tested by experiments in vitro. In ELISPOT assay, the positive response of the LMP2A specific CTL stimulated by three (LMP2A264.272, LMP2A426-434 and LMP2A3s6.364) of six peptides respectively showed that the numbers of spots forming cells (SFC) ranged from 55.7 to 80.6 SFC/5 x 104 CO8^+ T cells and the responding index (RI) ranged from 5.4 to 7. These three epitope-specific CTLs could effectively kill specific HLA-A2- expressing target cells. As a result, LMP2A264.272 (QLSPLLGAV), LMP2A426.434 (CLGGLLTMV) and LMP2A356.364 (FLYALALLL) were identified as LMP2A-specific CD8^+ T-cell epitopes. It would be useful to clarify immune response toward EBV and to develop a vaccine against EBV-correlative NPC. 相似文献

Identification and characterization of peptides mimicking the epitopes of metalloprotease of Schistosoma japonicum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In an attempt to isolate and characterize peptides mimicking epitopes of metalloprotease and explore their immunological protection against Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum), polyclonal anti-metalloprotease sera was prepared to screen a 12-mer random peptide library to isolate phages binding specially to antisera IgG. Then, phage ELISA, animal immunization, DNA sequencing, Western blotting and enzymatic activity neutralizing analysis were used to characterize the selected phage clones. All of ten randomly picked clones were shown to be positive. Five peptides of different amino acid sequences deduced from DNA sequences were obtained and two of them (peptides 2 and 3) could induce significant reduction (31.0% and 31.8%, respectively) in worm burden and high reduction (52.6% and 54.9%, respectively) in liver eggs per gram (LEPG), while, unexpectedly, others (peptides 1, 4 and 5) could not elicit enough protection against infection of S. japonicum. Peptides 2 and 3 could be recognized by S. japonicum infected mouse sera (IMS) and could elicit neutralizing Abs. The results show that peptides 2 and 3 are antigenic and immunogenic. They are true mimics of epitopes of metalloprotease and useful as novel vaccine candidates against S.japonicum. Cellular & Molecular Immunology. 2005;2(3):219-223. 相似文献

Many B cell epitopes within p24 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were identified, while most of them were determined by using murine monoclonal antibodies reacting with overlapping peptides of p24. Therefore these epitopes may not represent the actual epitopes recognized by the HIV-1 infected individuals. In the present study, immune responses of 67 HIV-1 positive sera from Yunnan Province, China to five peptides on p24 of HIV-1 and one of HIV-2 were analyzed. All of 67 sera did not recognize peptide GA-12 on HIV-1 and peptide AG-23 on HIV-2, which indicated that GA-12 was not human B cell epitope and AG-23 did not cross-react with HIV-1 positive serum. Except 13 sera (19.4%), all remaining sera did not recognize peptides NI-15, DR-16, DC-22 and PS-18, which indicated that these four peptides represented B cell linear epitopes of HIV-1 p24 in some HIV-1 infected individuals but not the immuno-dominant epitopes in most individuals. 相似文献

Objective To investigate the evolution of HIV-1 envelope (env) gene from the individuals infected by the virus from one donor, the entry mediated by the envelope glycoprotein and the variation in the main neutralizing epitopes of envelope. Methods The genetic distances of the HIV-1 envelope genes derived from previous studies were analyzed. A series of envelope-pseudotyped viruses were constructed by co-transfecting HEK293T cells with a HIV-1 plasmid bearing the firefly luciferase reporter gene and an envelope expression plasmid. The entry ability of the envelope-pseudotyped viruses into U87. CD4. CCR5 or U87. CD4. CXCR4 cell lines was examined. The ami-no acid sequences representing the epitopes to the broad-neutralizing antibodies within the envelope glycoproteins were also investigated. Results It was found that the genetic distance of the 24 env genes with complete open reading frame was (7.91 ±0.78)% towards HIV-1 CNHN24, and (6.90 ±0.79)% towards RL42. Among the variable regions, the genetic distance of V1/V2 showed the biggest distance, and that of V3 showed the smallest distance. There were CCR5-tropic, CXCR4-tropic and CCR5/CXCR4-dual-tropic Env-pseudoviruses. Furthermore, in these envelopes, the epitopes to IgG1 b12 2F5 and 4E10 antibody were conserved, while the epitope to 447-52D was variable. Conclusion There is definite env gene variation among the viruses derived from the same donor. The variation influences the entry ability and tropism of emelope pseudoviruses. The epitopes to the main broad-neutralizing antibodies are conserved. 相似文献

Antigenic determinants expressed on the bacterial cell surface are of importance in the serological characterization and microbiological diagnosis. The bacterial strains carrying these identical or similar antigenic epitopes might react with antibodies produced against other strains. In this study, strong immunogenicity and antigenic cross reactivity were demonstrated among V. cholerae O1, S. flexnerii 2a and H. influenzae b surface components. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results were supported by Western blot analysis, where at least 20 antigenic bands, were obtained in each of the reactions, when the surface components were reacted with the homologous antisera. The indirect ELISA results also demonstrated high degree of antigenic relatedness between the surface components of these species, where each surface component was reacted with the heterologous antisera. Western blot analysis also revealed cross reactions between the surface components suggesting common distribution of antigens/epitopes in these bacterial species. This study, thus, gave a clear idea of the level of antigenic sharing and variations among the pathogenic V. cholerae O1, S. flexneri 2a and H. influenzae b strains, which in future, may help in selecting a proper candidate for vaccines and immunodiagnostics development. 相似文献

Summary: Physical interactions between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs) form the basis of any specific immune response. Upon cognate contacts, a multimolecular assembly of receptors and adhesion molecules on both cells is created, termed the immunological synapse (IS). Very diverse structures of ISs have been described, yet the functional importance for T-cell differentiation is largely unclear. Here we discuss the principal structure and function of ISs. We then focus on two characteristic T-cell–APC pairs, namely T cells contacting dendritic cells (DCs) or naive B cells, for which extremely different patterns of the IS have been observed as well as fundamentally different effects on the function of the activated T cells. We provide a model on how differences in signaling and the involvement of adhesion molecules might lead to diverse interaction kinetics and, eventually, diverse T-cell differentiation. We hypothesize that the preferred activation of the adhesion molecule leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and of the negative regulator for T-cell activation, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), through contact with naive B cells, lead to prolonged cell–cell contacts and the generation of T cells with regulatory capacity. In contrast, DCs might have evolved mechanisms to avoid LFA-1 overactivation and CTLA-4 triggering, thereby promoting more dynamic contacts that lead to the preferential generation of effector cells. 相似文献

Hepatocyte progenitors in man and in rodents--multiple pathways, multiple candidates 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In severe injury, liver-cell progenitors may play a role in recovery, proliferating, and subsequently differentiating into mature liver cells. Identifying these progenitors has major therapeutic potential for ex vivo pharmaceutical testing, bioartificial liver support, tissue engineering and gene therapy protocols. Potential liver-cell progenitors have been identified from bone marrow, peripheral blood, cord blood, foetal liver, adult liver and embryonic stem cells. Differences and similarities are found among cells isolated from rodents and humans. This review will discuss identifying markers and differentiation potential in in vitro and in vivo models of these putative progenitors in both humans and rodents. 相似文献

The development of immunotherapies for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been the subject of research for several decades. In
addition to cytokine therapy, the benefit of various adoptive cell therapies has again come into focus in the past several
years. Nevertheless, success in fighting this immunogenic tumor is still disappointing. RCC can attract a multitude of different
effector cells of both the innate and adaptive immune system, including natural killer (NK) cells, γδ T cells, NK-like T cells,
peptide-specific T cells, dendritic cells (DC), and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Based on intensive research on the biology
and function of different immune cells, we now understand that individual cell types do not act in isolation but function
within a complex network of intercellular interactions. These interactions play a pivotal role in the efficient activation
and function of effector cells, which is a prerequisite for successful tumor elimination. This review provides a current overview
of the diversity of effector cells having the capacity to recognize RCC. Aspects of the functions and anti-tumor properties
that make them attractive candidates for adoptive cell therapies, as well as experience in clinical application are discussed.
Improved knowledge of the biology of this immune network may help us to effectively harness various effector cells, placing
us in a better position to develop new therapeutic strategies to successfully fight RCC. 相似文献

More than 95% of newly formed B cells die in the short interval spanning slgM acquisition in the bone marrow and entry into
the long-lived pool, suggesting that selective events dictating B cell longevity occur at this stage. These likely include
both ligandinduced deletion as well as discrete events that mediate recruitment to the long-lived recirculating pool. We are
probing these events through the examination of normal B cell differentiation during this critical period: the characterization
of a natural mutation that blocks late maturation, an irradiation/autoreconstitution model of marrow-derived B cell differentiation,
and the identification of life span regulatory genes whose expression changes within this window. 相似文献

Cell division is commonly thought to involve the equal distribution of cellular components into the two daughter cells. During many cell divisions, however, proteins, membrane compartments, organelles, or even DNA are asymmetrically distributed between the two daughter cells. Here, we review the various types of asymmetries that have been described in yeast and in animal cells. Asymmetric segregation of protein determinants is particularly relevant for stem cell biology. We summarize the relevance of asymmetric cell divisions in various stem cell systems and discuss why defects in asymmetric cell division can lead to the formation of tumors. 相似文献
