Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of the rhesus macaque is currently the best animal model for AIDS vaccine development. One limitation of this model, however, has been the small number of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes and restricting major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules available for investigating virus-specific CTL responses. To identify new MHC class I-restricted CTL epitopes, we infected five members of a family of MHC-defined rhesus macaques intravenously with SIV. Five new CTL epitopes bound by four different MHC class I molecules were defined. These included two Env epitopes bound by Mamu-A*11 and -B*03 and three Nef epitopes bound by Mamu-B*03, -B*04, and -B*17. All four restricting MHC class I molecules were encoded on only two haplotypes (b or c). Interestingly, resistance to disease progression within this family appeared to be associated with the inheritance of one or both of these MHC class I haplotypes. Two individuals that inherited haplotypes b and c separately survived for 299 and 511 days, respectively, while another individual that inherited both haplotypes survived for 889 days. In contrast, two MHC class I-identical individuals that did not inherit either haplotype rapidly progressed to disease (survived <80 days). Since all five offspring were identical at their Mamu-DRB loci, MHC class II differences are unlikely to account for their patterns of disease progression. These results double the number of SIV CTL epitopes defined in rhesus macaques and provide evidence that allelic differences at the MHC class I loci may influence rates of disease progression among AIDS virus-infected individuals. 相似文献

Certain major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) alleles are associated with delayed disease progression in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and in macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). However, little is known about the influence of these MHC alleles on acute-phase cellular immune responses. Here we follow 51 animals infected with SIV(mac)239 and demonstrate a dramatic association between Mamu-A*01 and -B*17 expression and slowed disease progression. We show that the dominant acute-phase cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in animals expressing these alleles are largely directed against two epitopes restricted by Mamu-A*01 and one epitope restricted by Mamu-B*17. One Mamu-A*01-restricted response (Tat(28-35)SL8) and the Mamu-B*17-restricted response (Nef(165-173)IW9) typically select for viral escape variants in early SIV(mac)239 infection. Interestingly, animals expressing Mamu-A*1 and -B*17 have less variation in the Tat(28-35)SL8 epitope during chronic infection than animals that express only Mamu-A*01. Our results show that MHC-I alleles that are associated with slow progression to AIDS bind epitopes recognized by dominant CTL responses during acute infection and underscore the importance of understanding CTL responses during primary HIV infection. 相似文献

The kinetics of immune escape and reversion depend upon the efficiency of CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and the fitness cost of escape mutations. Escape kinetics of three simian immunodeficiency virus Gag CTL epitopes in pigtail macaques were variable; those of KP9 and AF9 were faster than those of KW9. Kinetics of reversion of escape mutant virus to wild type upon passage to na?ve major histocompatibility complex-mismatched macaques also varied. Rapid reversion occurred at KP9, gradual biphasic reversion occurred at AF9, and escape mutant KW9 virus failed to revert. The fitness impact of these mutations is KP9 > AF9 > KW9. These data provide insights into the differential utility of CTL in controlling viremia. 相似文献

Given the current difficulties generating vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the focus of the vaccine community has shifted toward creating cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL)-based vaccines. Recent reports of CTL-based vaccine trials in macaques challenged with simian/human immunodeficiency virus SHIV-89.6P have supported the notion that such vaccines can ameliorate the course of disease. However, almost all of these studies included Env as an immunogen and since SHIV-89.6P is sensitive to neutralizing antibodies it is difficult to determine the mechanism(s) of protection. Consequently, SHIV-89.6P challenge of macaques may be a poor model for determining vaccine efficacy in humans. To ascertain the effect of vaccine-induced multispecific mucosal CTL, in the absence of Env-specific antibody, on the control of an immunodeficiency virus challenge, we vaccinated Mamu-A*01(+) macaques with constructs encoding a combination of CTL epitopes and full-length proteins (Tat, Rev, and Nef) by using a DNA prime/recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara (rMVA) boost regimen. The vaccination induced virus-specific CTL and CD4(+) helper T lymphocytes with CTL frequencies as high as 20,000/million peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The final rMVA vaccination, delivered intravenously, engendered long-lived mucosal CTL. At 16 weeks after the final rMVA vaccination, the vaccinees and naive, Mamu-A*01(+) controls were challenged intrarectally with SIVmac239. Massive early anamnestic cellular immune responses controlled acute-phase viral replication; however, the three vaccinees were unable to control virus replication in the chronic phase. The present study suggests that multispecific mucosal CTL, in the absence of neutralizing antibodies, can achieve a modicum of control over early viral replication but are unable to control chronic-phase viral replication after a high-dose mucosal challenge with a pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus. 相似文献

It is becoming increasingly clear that any human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine should induce a strong CD8(+) response. Additional desirable elements are multispecificity and a focus on conserved epitopes. The use of multiple conserved epitopes arranged in an artificial gene (or EpiGene) is a potential means to achieve these goals. To test this concept in a relevant disease model we sought to identify multiple simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-derived CD8(+) epitopes bound by a single nonhuman primate major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule. We had previously identified the peptide binding motif of Mamu-A*01(2), a common rhesus macaque MHC class I molecule that presents the immunodominant SIV gag-derived cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope Gag_CM9 (CTPYDINQM). Herein, we scanned SIV proteins for the presence of Mamu-A*01 motifs. The binding capacity of 221 motif-positive peptides was determined using purified Mamu-A*01 molecules. Thirty-seven peptides bound with apparent K(d) values of 500 nM or lower, with 21 peptides binding better than the Gag_CM9 peptide. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from SIV-infected Mamu-A*01(+) macaques recognized 14 of these peptides in ELISPOT, CTL, or tetramer analyses. This study reveals an unprecedented complexity and diversity of anti-SIV CTL responses. Furthermore, it represents an important step toward the design of a multiepitope vaccine for SIV and HIV. 相似文献

In 8 of 12 experimentally infected macaques, the Nef SIVmac 251 protein was recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and appeared strongly immunogenic. Here, we report experiments which have been performed by using synthetic peptides to precisely determine the epitopes recognized by macaque CTL. Three epitopes of the Nef protein have been defined as CTL targets in three macaques. The epitopic peptides are located in the central region of the protein, and all of them show high homology with peptides of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Nef protein recognized by human CTL in association with several human leukocyte antigen molecules. These results suggest that (i) the Nef protein is a good candidate for vaccination not only because of its early expression but also because of its high immunogenicity for CTL, (ii) long peptides covering the central region of this protein could be used as vaccines and could cross the major histocompatibility complex barrier in a large variety of individuals, and (iii) the rhesus macaque is a good animal model in which to test for protection by CTL. 相似文献

Viruses can exploit a variety of strategies to evade immune surveillance by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), including the acquisition of mutations in CTL epitopes. Also for influenza A viruses a number of amino acid substitutions in the nucleoprotein (NP) have been associated with escape from CTL. However, other previously identified influenza A virus CTL epitopes are highly conserved, including the immunodominant HLA-A*0201-restricted epitope from the matrix protein, M1(58-66). We hypothesized that functional constraints were responsible for the conserved nature of influenza A virus CTL epitopes, limiting escape from CTL. To assess the impact of amino acid substitutions in conserved epitopes on viral fitness and recognition by specific CTL, we performed a mutational analysis of CTL epitopes. Both alanine replacements and more conservative substitutions were introduced at various positions of different influenza A virus CTL epitopes. Alanine replacements for each of the nine amino acids of the M1(58-66) epitope were tolerated to various extents, except for the anchor residue at the second position. Substitution of anchor residues in other influenza A virus CTL epitopes also affected viral fitness. Viable mutant viruses were used in CTL recognition experiments. The results are discussed in the light of the possibility of influenza viruses to escape from specific CTL. It was speculated that functional constraints limit variation in certain epitopes, especially at anchor residues, explaining the conserved nature of these epitopes. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses are thought to control human immunodeficiency virus replication during the acute phase of infection. Understanding the CD8(+) T-cell immune responses early after infection may, therefore, be important to vaccine design. Analyzing these responses in humans is difficult since few patients are diagnosed during early infection. Additionally, patients are infected by a variety of viral subtypes, making it hard to design reagents to measure their acute-phase immune responses. Given the complexities in evaluating acute-phase CD8(+) responses in humans, we analyzed these important immune responses in rhesus macaques expressing a common rhesus macaque major histocompatibility complex class I molecule (Mamu-A*01) for which we had developed a variety of immunological assays. We infected eight Mamu-A*01-positive macaques and five Mamu-A*01-negative macaques with the molecularly cloned virus SIV(mac)239 and determined all of the simian immunodeficiency virus-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses against overlapping peptides spanning the entire virus. We also monitored the evolution of particular CD8(+) T-cell responses by tetramer staining of peripheral lymphocytes as well as lymph node cells in situ. In this first analysis of the entire CD8(+) immune response to autologous virus we show that between 2 and 12 responses are detected during the acute phase in each animal. CTL against the early proteins (Tat, Rev, and Nef) and against regulatory proteins Vif and Vpr dominated the acute phase. Interestingly, CD8(+) responses against Mamu-A*01-restricted epitopes Tat(28-35)SL8 and Gag(181-189)CM9 were immunodominant in the acute phase. After the acute phase, however, this pattern of reactivity changed, and the Mamu-A*01-restricted response against the Gag(181-189)CM9 epitope became dominant. In most of the Mamu-A*01-positive macaques tested, CTL responses against epitopes bound by Mamu-A*01 dominated the CD8(+) cellular immune response. 相似文献

Increasing evidence suggests that the generation of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses specific for a diversity of viral epitopes will be needed for an effective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine. Here, we determine the frequencies of CTL responses specific for the simian immunodeficiency virus Gag p11C and HIV-1 Env p41A epitopes in simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV)-infected and vaccinated rhesus monkeys. The p11C-specific CTL response was high frequency and dominant and the p41A-specific CTL response was low frequency and subdominant in both SHIV-infected monkeys and in monkeys vaccinated with recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara vectors expressing these viral antigens. Interestingly, we found that plasmid DNA vaccination led to high-frequency CTL responses specific for both of these epitopes. These data demonstrate that plasmid DNA may be useful in eliciting a broad CTL response against multiple epitopes. 相似文献

It is now accepted that an effective vaccine against AIDS must include effective cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses. The simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected rhesus macaque is the best available animal model for AIDS, but analysis of macaque CTL responses has hitherto focused mainly on epitopes bound by a single major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule, Mamu-A*01. The availability of Mamu-A*01-positive macaques for vaccine studies is therefore severely limited. Furthermore, it is becoming clear that different CTL responses are able to control immunodeficiency virus replication with varying success, making it a priority to identify and analyze CTL responses restricted by common MHC class I molecules other than Mamu-A*01. Here we describe two novel epitopes derived from SIV, one from Gag (Gag(71-79) GY9), and one from the Nef protein (Nef(159-167) YY9). Both epitopes are bound by the common macaque MHC class I molecule, Mamu-A*02. The sequences of these two eptiopes are consistent with the molecule's peptide-binding motif, which we have defined by elution of natural ligands from Mamu-A*02. Strikingly, we found evidence for the selection of escape variant viruses by CTL specific for Nef(159-167) YY9 in 6 of 6 Mamu-A*02-positive animals. In contrast, viral sequences encoding the Gag(71-79) GY9 epitope remained intact in each animal. This situation is reminiscent of Mamu-A*01-restricted CTL that recognize Tat(28-35) SL8, which reproducibly selects for escape variants during acute infection, and Gag(181-189) CM9, which does not. Differential selection by CTL may therefore be a paradigm of immunodeficiency virus infection. 相似文献

Compelling evidence now suggests that alphabeta CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have an important role in preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and/or slowing progression to AIDS. Here, we describe an HIV type 1 CTL polyepitope, or polytope, vaccine comprising seven contiguous minimal HLA A2-restricted CD8 CTL epitopes conjoined in a single artificial construct. Epitope-specific CTL lines derived from HIV-infected individuals were able to recognize every epitope within the construct, and HLA A2-transgenic mice immunized with a recombinant virus vaccine coding for the HIV polytope also generated CTL specific for different epitopes. Each epitope in the polytope construct was therefore processed and presented, illustrating the feasibility of the polytope approach for HIV vaccine design. By simultaneously inducing CTL specific for different epitopes, an HIV polytope vaccine might generate activity against multiple challenge isolates and/or preempt the formation of CTL escape mutants. 相似文献

Engendering cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses is likely to be an important goal of HIV vaccines. However, CTLs select for viral variants that escape immune detection. Maintenance of such escape variants in human populations could pose an obstacle to HIV vaccine development. We first observed that escape mutations in a heterogeneous simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) isolate were lost upon passage to new animals. We therefore infected macaques with a cloned SIV bearing escape mutations in three immunodominant CTL epitopes, and followed viral evolution after infection. Here we show that each mutant epitope sequence continued to evolve in vivo, often re-establishing the original, CTL-susceptible sequence. We conclude that escape from CTL responses may exact a cost to viral fitness. In the absence of selective pressure upon transmission to new hosts, these original escape mutations can be lost. This suggests that some HIV CTL epitopes will be maintained in human populations. 相似文献

Vaccine-induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have been implicated in the control of virus replication in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-challenged and simian-human immunodeficiency virus-challenged macaques. Therefore, we wanted to test the impact that vaccine-induced CTL responses against an immunodominant Gag epitope might have in the absence of other immune responses. By themselves, these strong CTL responses failed to control SIVmac239 replication. 相似文献

Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I)-restricted CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses are crucial for the control of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication. In particular, Gag-specific CTL responses have been shown to exert strong suppressive pressure on HIV/SIV replication. Additionally, association of Vif-specific CTL frequencies with in vitro anti-SIV efficacy has been suggested recently. Host MHC-I genotypes could affect the immunodominance patterns of these potent CTL responses. Here, Gag- and Vif-specific CTL responses during primary SIVmac239 infection were examined in three groups of Burmese rhesus macaques, each group having a different MHC-I haplotype. The first group of four macaques, which possessed the MHC-I haplotype 90-010-Ie, did not show Gag- or Vif-specific CTL responses. However, Nef-specific CTL responses were elicited, suggesting that primary SIV infection does not induce predominant CTL responses specific for Gag/Vif epitopes restricted by 90-010-Ie-derived MHC-I molecules. In contrast, Gag- and Vif-specific CTL responses were induced in the second group of two 89-075-Iw-positive animals and the third group of two 91-010-Is-positive animals. Considering the potential of prophylactic vaccination to affect CTL immunodominance post-viral exposure, these groups of macaques would be useful for evaluation of vaccine antigen-specific CTL efficacy against SIV infection. 相似文献

We present detailed studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses to clade A or C HIV type 1 in three donors infected in East Africa. We define several novel non-clade B CTL epitopes, including some restricted by HLA alleles common in Africans. Although cross-clade CTL recognition of these epitopes does occur, recognition can also be highly clade specific. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses frequently select for immunodeficiency virus mutations that result in escape from CTL recognition with viral fitness costs. The replication in vivo of such viruses carrying not single but multiple escape mutations in the absence of the CTL pressure has remained undetermined. Here, we have examined the replication of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) with five gag mutations selected in a macaque possessing the major histocompatibility complex haplotype 90-120-Ia after its transmission into 90-120-Ia-negative macaques. Our results showed that even such a "crippled" SIV infection can result in persistent viral replication, multiple reversions, and AIDS progression. 相似文献

Although recent evidence has confirmed the importance of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses in controlling human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and simian immunodeficiency virus replication, the relevance of the epitopic breadth of those CTL responses remains unexplored. In the present study, we sought to determine whether vaccination can expand CTL populations which recognize a repertoire of viral epitopes that is greater than is typically generated in the course of a viral infection. We demonstrate that potent secondary CTL responses to subdominant epitopes are rapidly generated following a pathogenic simian-human immunodeficiency virus challenge of rhesus monkeys vaccinated with plasmid DNA or recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara vaccines. These data indicate that prior vaccination can increase the breadth of the CTL response that evolves after an AIDS virus infection. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses are crucial for the control of immunodeficiency virus replication. Possible involvement of a dominant single epitope-specific CTL in control of viral replication has recently been indicated in preclinical AIDS vaccine trials, but it has remained unclear if multiple epitope-specific CTLs can be involved in the vaccine-based control. Here, by following up five rhesus macaques that showed vaccine-based control of primary replication of a simian immunodeficiency virus, SIVmac239, we present evidence indicating involvement of multiple epitope-specific CTL responses in this control. Three macaques maintained control for more than 2 years without additional mutations in the provirus. However, in the other two that shared a major histocompatibility complex haplotype, viral mutations were accumulated in a similar order, leading to viral evasion from three epitope-specific CTL responses with viral fitness costs. Accumulation of these multiple escape mutations resulted in the reappearance of plasma viremia around week 60 after challenge. Our results implicate multiple epitope-specific CTL responses in control of immunodeficiency virus replication and furthermore suggest that sequential accumulation of multiple CTL escape mutations, if allowed, can result in viral evasion from this control. 相似文献

Vaccine-based control of the replication of a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), SIVmac239, in macaques has recently been shown. In the process of the control, a mutant virus escaping from epitope-specific cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses was rapidly selected and contained. In this study, we show that the wild-type virus appeared and became predominant in the absence of the epitope-specific CTL after inoculation of naive macaques with a molecular clone DNA of the CTL escape mutant SIV. This is the first report describing reversion in vivo from an inoculated, molecular proviral DNA clone of immunodeficiency virus with a CTL escape mutation. 相似文献

We previously reported major histocompatibility complex Class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in jejunal lamina propria (LP) of monkeys following colonic exposure to subinfectious SIV doses. Those monkeys with strong mucosal CTL responses specific for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) envelope (env) were protected from later colonic challenge with a heterologous pathogenic virus dose. Here, env-specific CTL were similarly induced in jejunal LP in five of eight non-progesterone treated macaques that were vaginally exposed to SIV, but not infected. Subsequent vaginal challenge following progesterone treatment produced systemic infection. The only two monkeys that had jejunal env-specific CTL detectable post-challenge developed significantly lower plasma virus loads, and had delayed disease progression. Either vaginal or colonic exposure to subinfectious SIV doses can induce CTL detectable in jejunal LP. The association of such CTL with protection or delayed disease upon challenge suggests that successful vaccine protection against SIV/HIV may require CTL responses in the mucosa. 相似文献
