Abstract
|
|
|
Prime-boost immunization with gene-based vectors has been developed to generate
more effective vaccines for AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Although these
vectors elicit potent T cell responses, the mechanisms by which they stimulate
immunity are not well understood. In this study, we show that immunization by a
single gene product, HIV-1 envelope, with alternative vector combinations
elicits CD8(+) cells with different fine specificities and kinetics of
mobilization. Vaccine-induced CD8(+) T cells recognized overlapping third V
region loop peptides. Unexpectedly, two anchor variants bound H-2D(d) better
than the native sequences, and clones with distinct specificities were elicited
by alternative vectors. X-ray crystallography revealed major differences in
solvent exposure of MHC-bound peptide epitopes, suggesting that processed HIV-1
envelope gave rise to MHC-I/peptide conformations recognized by distinct CD8(+)
T cell populations. These findings suggest that different gene-based vectors
generate peptides with alternative conformations within MHC-I that elicit
distinct T cell responses after vaccination.
