The conserved epitopes of influenza nucleoprotein (NP) recognized by class I MHC-restricted CTL from CBA (H-2k) and C57BL/10 (H-2b) mice have been defined in vitro with synthetic peptides 50-63 and 365-379, respectively. Two Db-restricted clones were described that recognize different epitopes on peptide 365-379. Finally, the recognition of complete NP was shown to be approximately 200-fold less efficient than peptide in the cytotoxicity assay. These phenomena are closely related to results with class II-restricted T cells and they strengthen the hypothesis that influenza proteins are degraded in the infected cell before recognition by class I-restricted CTL.
来自CBA(H-2k)和C57BL/10(H-2b)小鼠的I类MHC限制性CTL识别的流感核蛋白(NP)保守表位,已分别在体外利用合成肽50-63和365-379得以确定。描述了两个Db限制性克隆,它们识别肽365-379上不同的表位。最后,在细胞毒性试验中,对完整NP的识别效率显示比肽低约200倍。这些现象与II类限制性T细胞的结果密切相关,并且强化了流感蛋白在被I类限制性CTL识别之前在感染细胞中被降解的假说。
