Epitope repertoire of human CD4+ T cells on tetanus toxin: identification of immunodominant sequence segments

B M Diethelm-Okita et al. J Infect Dis. 1997 Feb.

Abstract

Sequence regions of tetanus toxin-forming CD4+ cell epitopes in 8 HLA-disparate subjects were identified. Overlapping synthetic peptides corresponding to the complete tetanus toxin sequence were used to test, in a proliferation assay, unselected blood CD4+ cells or CD4+ cell lines propagated by stimulation with tetanus toxoid. The CD4+ cell lines recognized most peptides recognized by the blood CD4+ cells and they recognized additional peptides. Their responses were stronger than those of unselected blood CD4+ cells. Two peptides were recognized by all subjects: one largely overlapped a tetanus toxin sequence region previously identified as a "universal" T cell epitope. Thirteen other peptides elicited a CD4+ cell response in 6 or 7 of the 8 subjects, and another 10 elicited responses in 5 subjects.
