ABSTRACT
The purpose is to screen and identify the specific H-2d restricted T-cell epitopes. These epitopes are used to investigate the cellular immune response of BALB/c (H-2d) mice immunized with a HIV-1 vaccine which expresses six antigens of gp160, gag, pol, rev, tat and nef of HIV subtype B'/C. A replicating DNA vaccine and a non-replicating recombinant vaccinia virus vector, both expressing the six antigens mentioned above, were used to immune BALB/c (H-2d) mice in a prime-boost regiment. The six peptide libraries of HIV B'/C corresponding respectively to the six complete antigens were pooled according to a designed matrix format and used to test for IFN-gamma production from splenocytes of immunized mice by an enzyme-linked immunospot (IFN-gamma ELISPOT) assay. The ELISPOT data indicated that two of seven Gag-specific T-cell epitope peptides were identified to be the novel epitopes. One of three Pol-specific T-cell epitope is unreported. One novel epitope was confirmed in two gp160-specific T-cell epitope peptides. One Nef-specific T-cell epitope was identified. Three Tat-specific T-cell epitope peptides were continuous sequences in Tat peptide library and all contained either complete or partial sequence reported. Rev-specific T-cell epitope was not be found. The specific T-cell epitopes (H-2d restricted) were identified by IFN-7 ELISPOT assay, which could be used to detect the cellular immune response of BALB/c mice immunized with the HIV-1 vaccine expressing six antigens of gp160, gag, pol, rev, tat and nef of HIV subtype B'/C.
