| Abstract: | Heat shock proteins 70 (hsp70) derived from tissues and cells can elicit cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against peptides bound to hsp70. However, peptides can markedly differ in their affinity for hsp, and this potentially limits the repertoire of peptides available to induce CTL by the hsp immunization. Hybrid peptides consisting of a high-affinity ligand for the peptide-binding site of hsp70 joined to T cell epitopes by a glycine- serine-glycine linker were constructed. Immunization with hybrid peptides complexed to mouse hsp70 effectively primed specific CTL responses in mice and were more potent than T cell peptide epitopes alone with hsp70. In vivo immunization with hsp70 and hybrid peptides led to rejection of tumors expressing antigen with greater efficacy than immunization with peptide epitope plus hsp70. Induction of CTL responses occurred independently of CD4+ T cells, suggesting that immunization directly primed antigen- presenting cells to elicit CD8+ cytotoxic T cell responses without T cell help. Both peptide/hsp70 complexes and mouse hsp70 alone were able to induce cultures of mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) to release cytokines, including DC from endotoxin-resistant C57BL/10Sc mice. Thus, hsp70/hybrid peptide complexes can activate DC for cytokine release, providing a potential adjuvant effect that could bypass T cell help. |
