To assess the heterogeneity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) directed against viral epitopes, we studied six class I major histocompatibility complex-restricted (H-2Db) CTL clones that recognize the same 9-amino-acid immunodominant epitope, amino acids 278 to 286 from envelope glycoprotein 2 (GP2) of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Using Southern blot analysis of beta-chain rearrangements, we found that each clone has a unique restriction pattern, providing evidence of the independent derivation of the clones and suggesting that the clones express different beta-chain sequences for their T-cell receptor. All these clones killed syngeneic target cells infected with strain Armstrong or WE of LCMV; however, two of the six clones failed to recognize target cells infected with the Pasteur strain of LCMV. Sequence analysis of LCMV Armstrong, WE, and Pasteur GP in the region of amino acids 272 to 293 demonstrated a single-amino-acid substitution at amino acid 278 in the region of the defined epitope in the Pasteur strain. Interestingly, one of the two CTL clones that failed to lyse LCMV Pasteur-infected target cells nevertheless efficiently and specifically killed uninfected target cells coated with the appropriate LCMV Pasteur peptide, while the other clone failed to do so. This indicated a dichotomy between processing of the synthesized protein initiated by infection and a peptide exogenously applied. Dose-response studies utilizing several peptides with substitutions in GP amino acid 278 indicate that CTL recognition occurs at the level of a single amino acid and suggest that this difference is likely recognized at the level of the T-cell receptor.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D008217 Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus The type species of ARENAVIRUS, part of the Old World Arenaviruses (ARENAVIRUSES, OLD WORLD), producing a silent infection in house and laboratory mice. In humans, infection with LCMV can be inapparent, or can present with an influenza-like illness, a benign aseptic meningitis, or a severe meningoencephalomyelitis. The virus can also infect monkeys, dogs, field mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters, the latter an epidemiologically important host. LCM Viruses,LCMV,LCM Virus,Lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.
