Abstract:
Objective To introduce the amino acid substitution for HP V16E749-57(HLA-A2-restricted CTL epitope) and to identify the novel epitopes.Me thods Quantitative method was used to evaluate the affinity of the substituted peptides.To determine the peptide candidates to be synthesized and identified,the molecular models of the HLA-A2-peptide complex and CTL epitope candidates b ound to the HLA-A2 molecule were established by computer molecular modeling.Pep tides were synthesized and purified with standard Fmoc assay,lactate dehydrogen ase (LDH) release assay was used to determine their abilities of inducing the ge neration of specific CTLs.Results Modified peptides met the requirements of H LA-A2-restricted CTL epitopes.Peptide RLHYNIVTF had the abilitiy of inducing th e generation of specific CTLs.Conclusions Compared with HPV17E749-57 the mod ified peptide RLHYNIVTF has a higher antigenicity and affinity to HLA-A2.So,pe ptide RLHYNIVTF may be used as one of the HLA-A2-restricted candidate epitopes,instead of HPV17E749-57,for peptide vaccine in the treatment of HPV infection.
