BALB/c radiation leukemia RL male 1 is an immunogenic tumor. We established bulk and cloned cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines from regressor (BALB/c x C57BL/6)F1 (CB6F1) spleen cells that recognized RL male 1 specifically. We then obtained antigen peptide recognized by CTL from RL male 1 by acid extraction. Analysis of the acid extract by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a semipreparative C18 column revealed that fractions eluted in 23 min (peak a) and 26 min (peak b) showed sensitization activity on the P815 target for specific CTL. On further purification of these fractions by HPLC and direct sequencing by Edman degradation, we identified the CTL-recognizing RL male 1 peptide pRL1a (IPGLPLSL) in peak a and its possible precursor peptide pRL1b (SIIPGLPLSL) in peak b. Sequence homology indicated that these peptides were derived from the 5' untranslated region of c-akt oncogene.
BALB/c辐射白血病RL雄性1是一种免疫原性肿瘤。我们从消退型(BALB/c×C57BL/6)F1(CB6F1)脾细胞中建立了大量和克隆的细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)系,这些细胞系能特异性识别RL雄性1。然后,我们通过酸提取从RL雄性1中获得了被CTL识别的抗原肽。在半制备C18柱上通过反相高效液相色谱(HPLC)对酸提取物进行分析,结果显示在23分钟(峰a)和26分钟(峰b)洗脱的馏分对特异性CTL的P815靶标具有致敏活性。通过HPLC对这些馏分进行进一步纯化,并通过埃德曼降解法进行直接测序,我们在峰a中鉴定出识别RL雄性1的CTL肽pRL1a(IPGLPLSL),在峰b中鉴定出其可能的前体肽pRL1b(SIIPGLPLSL)。序列同源性表明这些肽源自c-akt癌基因的5'非翻译区。
