Mycobacterium bovis BCG is still the most widely used vaccine against tuberculosis and CD8(+) T cells play important roles in fighting infection. We investigated how well antigen is processed and presented to CD8(+) T cells using the same well-characterized CD8(+) T cell epitope SIINFEKL expressed in either a cytoplasmic (GFP-OVA) or secreted (85B-OVA) context from BCG. We report that secreted SIINFEKL from 85B-OVA BCG is presented better than cytoplasmic SIINFEKL expressed by GFP-OVA BCG.
牛型分枝杆菌卡介苗仍然是最广泛使用的结核病疫苗,CD8(+) T 细胞在抗感染中发挥重要作用。我们研究了用在牛型分枝杆菌中表达的同一经过充分鉴定的 CD8(+) T 细胞表位 SIINFEKL(以胞质(GFP-OVA)或分泌(85B-OVA)形式)来处理和呈递抗原的效果如何。我们报告称,85B-OVA 牛型分枝杆菌分泌的 SIINFEKL 比 GFP-OVA 牛型分枝杆菌表达的胞质 SIINFEKL 呈递得更好。
