Immunogenic tumor cell variant P35 was obtained by mutagen treatment of mouse mastocytoma P815. It expresses a potent new antigen recognized by syngeneic cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). This antigen is the result of a point mutation in a gene that is expressed by most healthy cells. A decapeptide encoded by the region spanning the mutation sensitized P815 cells to the relevant CTL, whereas the homologous decapeptide corresponding to the normal sequence did not. Only the mutant decapeptide was capable of enhancing the expression of the Dd-presenting molecule at the cell surface, indicating that the mutation generates a motif which enables the antigenic peptide to bind to Dd.
免疫原性肿瘤细胞变体P35是通过对小鼠肥大细胞瘤P815进行诱变处理获得的。它表达一种强效新抗原,可被同基因细胞溶解T淋巴细胞(CTL)识别。该抗原是大多数健康细胞所表达基因中一个点突变的结果。由跨越该突变区域编码的十肽使P815细胞对相关CTL敏感,而对应正常序列的同源十肽则无此作用。只有突变十肽能够增强细胞表面Dd呈递分子的表达,这表明该突变产生了一个基序,使抗原肽能够与Dd结合。
