It has been shown previously that the viral glycoprotein VP7 is a major target of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) induced by bovine rotavirus RF in C57BL/6 mice. Here we show that these RF-specific CTLs recognize target cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus (rVV) expressing the SA11 (simian rotavirus) VP6 but not those infected with rVVs that express RF VP1, VP2 or VP3 core proteins. After immunization of mice with insect cells infected with recombinant baculoviruses that express the corresponding RF proteins a strong specific CTL response was generated against target cells infected with VP6 rVV and VP3 rVV, a weak one against the VP2 rVV but none against the VP1 rVV. Kb-restricted CTL epitopes were identified on VP6 and VP3 using allele-specific motifs. When peptides corresponding to these epitopes were used to restimulate in vitro the spleen cells from RF-immunized mice, CTLs specific for each peptide and its corresponding rVV were induced.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D012401 Rotavirus A genus of REOVIRIDAE, causing acute gastroenteritis in BIRDS and MAMMALS, including humans. Transmission is horizontal and by environmental contamination. Seven species (Rotaviruses A thru G) are recognized. Neonatal Calf Diarrhea Virus,Rotaviruses
D013602 T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS. There are two effector phenotypes: TC1 and TC2.
