HLA-A2.1 restricted peptides from the HBx antigen induce specific CTL responses in vitro and in vivo
Abstract
The HBx-derived, HLA-A2.1 restricted peptides, XEP-3, XEP-4, and XEP-6, induced activation of specific CTLs from patients with HBV in vitro. XEP-6 peptide induced the strongest response among the three peptides in CTLs from the blood samples of patients that were HBsAg positive. It was not clear whether the stage of disease (chronic infection, cirrhosis or hepatoma) was related to the responsiveness of the CTLs to each peptide. We vaccinated HLA-A2/K(b) transgenic mice with these peptides encapsulated in pH-sensitive liposomes at various concentrations and tested their ability to protect against challenge with rVV-HBx. Mice immunized with encapsulated peptides were protected against viral challenge whereas those immunized with empty liposomes were not. In general, 5 micro g of each peptide per head inoculation was sufficient to give protection after 2 weeks. After 3 weeks, this protective effect was increased. This effect of time was more important on the level of protection than the initial dose of the peptide. To explain the protective effect, IFN-gamma secreting CD8(+) cells isolated from mice 3 weeks after immunization were analyzed ex vivo. There was little dose dependency of peptide on IFN-gamma secretion except for XEP-3. The variations in the results may reflect the chemical properties of the peptides, such as solubility and binding affinity. In conclusion, epitope peptides derived from HBx can induce specific CTL activation and lead to cellular immunity in vitro and…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
