A CD4+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clone, established from the peripheral blood of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive donor, lysed autologous target cells that were infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus containing the gag gene of HIV type 1 and target cells pulsed with p24gag construct expressed in Escherichia coli. The recognition of the HLA-DQ-restricted epitope by this clone was further defined by using overlapping synthetic peptides. The epitope recognized by this CD4+ CTL clone (amino acids 140 to 148) overlaps with a CD8+ epitope and is highly conserved among all isolates of HIV type 1 that have been sequenced. Production and secretion of lymphokines such as interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 after specific antigenic stimulation were demonstrated by this gag-specific CD4+ CTL clone.
从一名人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)血清反应阳性供体的外周血中建立的一个CD4 + 细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)克隆,裂解了被含有1型HIV gag基因的重组痘苗病毒感染的自体靶细胞,以及用在大肠杆菌中表达的p24gag构建体脉冲处理过的靶细胞。通过使用重叠合成肽进一步确定了该克隆对HLA - DQ限制表位的识别。这个CD4 + CTL克隆识别的表位(氨基酸140至148)与一个CD8 + 表位重叠,并且在所有已测序的1型HIV分离株中高度保守。这个gag特异性CD4 + CTL克隆证明了在特异性抗原刺激后白细胞介素 - 2和白细胞介素 - 6等淋巴因子的产生和分泌。
