Abstract

Influenza A virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) capable of lysing cells infected with any influenza A virus ("cross-reactive CTL") constitute a major portion of the host CTL response to influenza. The viral nucleoprotein (NP), a major internal virion structural protein, has been implicated as a possible target antigen for cross-reactive CTL. To directly examine CTL recognition of NP, a vaccinia virus recombinant containing a DNA copy of an influenza A virus NP gene was constructed. We found that murine cells infected with this virus were efficiently lysed in a major histocompatibility complex-restricted manner by cross-reactive CTL populations obtained by immunization with a variety of influenza A virus subtypes. In addition, the recombinant vaccinia virus containing the PR8 NP gene was able to both stimulate and prime for a vigorous secondary cross-reactive CTL response. Significantly, splenocytes from mice primed by inoculation with the recombinant vaccinia virus containing the PR8 NP gene could be stimulated by influenza A viruses of all three major human subtypes. Finally, unlabeled target competition experiments suggest that NP is a major, but not the sole, viral target antigen recognized by cross-reactive CTL.

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.
