Poliovirus-specific major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted cytolytic T-cell epitopes in mice localize to neutralizing antigenic regions

M Kutubuddin et al. J Virol. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

A major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response is induced in BALB/c mice upon immunization with poliovirus serotype 1 (Mahoney strain). A similar class I-restricted response is also induced upon immunization with purified VP1 capsid proteins. Thus, poliovirus-specific MHC class I CTL responses can be induced independently of viral infection in murine hosts. In experiments using recombinant vaccinia virus vectors expressing different segments of the poliovirus capsid proteins and synthetic peptides, two regions of the VP1 capsid protein appear to contain epitopes recognized by this bulk CTL population. These epitope regions contain a Kd-restricted peptide-binding motif. Interestingly, each of these CTL epitopes is located near previously defined neutralizing antigenic sites.
