Cytotoxic T cells are the main antigen-specific effector cells of the cellular immune system and MHC class I restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses in mice, acting against the HIV-1 envelope protein, are known to be predominantly directed against an amino acid sequence in the third hypervariable domain. We have investigated the epitope specificity of anti-HIV-1 CTL in healthy human volunteers inoculated with a recombinant vaccinia expressing the HIV-1 gp160 envelope gene. Their isolated lymphocytes were stimulated in vitro with autologous HIV-1 infected cells. Our results show that immunization with recombinant virus is able to generate virus-specific CTLs to the HIV-1 gp160 envelope protein and to a 15-residue synthetic peptide corresponding to a highly variable region of the envelope p18(IIIB). The CTL response was restricted by class I MHC molecules HLA-A2 and A3 that commonly occur in the human population.

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.
