Upon infection with the Moloney murine sarcoma virus-murine leukemia virus (MuLV) complex, H-2b C57BL/6 (B6) mice respond with a class I Db-restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response, which protects against virus-induced tumorigenesis. In the B6-derived Db mutant B6.CH-2bm13 (bm13) strain, part of the class I Db antigen-presenting groove is shaped by a class I Kb-encoded sequence. Like B6 mice, bm13 mice reject Moloney virus-induced tumors, but the protective CTL response is Kb restricted. In this study we show enhanced levels of Moloney MuLV-specific CTLp with a restriction for Kb in bm13 mice. Through the use of CTL clones from Moloney virus-immunized bm13 mice, the class I Kb-presented CTL epitope was identified. The epitope is located in the Moloney virus gp70 envelope protein region (Moloney envelope, amino acids 189 to 196 [Mol env (189-196)]), SSWDFITV and has the Kb allele-specific binding motif. The Dbm13 molecule does not present the env(189 to 196) epitope to Kb-restricted bm13 CTL. In B6 mice, Mol env(189-196)-specific CTL could be induced by peptide vaccination. B6 mice thus have CTL precursors specific for this epitope but at considerably lower levels than do bm13 mice. We hypothesize that additional positive selection of Kb-restricted CTL on the Dbm13 molecule in bm13 mice explains this difference in precursor frequencies. We examined related strains of MuLV for the presence of Mol env(189-196) sequence equivalents. Rauscher, Friend, and AKV MuLV-encoded Mol env(189-196) epitope equivalents were properly recognized in cytotoxicity assays, both as synthetic and as endogenously expressed (Rauscher MuLV) peptides. In contrast, the mink cell focus-forming virus MuLV-encoded epitope equivalent, lacking a Kb anchor residue, was not presented for CTL recognition and hence can be excluded as an important CTL epitope for mink cell focus-forming viruses.

D008979 Moloney murine leukemia virus A strain of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) arising during the propagation of S37 mouse sarcoma, and causing lymphoid leukemia in mice. It also infects rats and newborn hamsters. It is apparently transmitted to embryos in utero and to newborns through mother's milk.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D000938 Antigen-Presenting Cells A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.
