Methods:
40 BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to two groups of control (

Objective:To screen and identify H-2 d-restricted T cell epitopes in fusion (F) and attachment (G) glycoproteins of Nipah virus (NiV) in mice. Methods:The complete peptides (single peptide contains 15 amino acids, and 10 amino acids were repeated in the front and back peptides) derived from F and G antigens were mixed into peptide libraries. BALB/c mice were immunized with DNA vaccines expressing NiV F and G proteins alone and in combination. The full sequence peptide libraries of F and G antigens were mixed into peptide pools by matrix design, and spleen cells of immunized mice were collected and analyzed by IFN-γ ELISPOT assay to detect the dominant H-2 d-restricted epitope peptides. Results:Twelve dominant H-2 d-restricted peptides were screened from the F protein-specific peptide library and the 56th peptide produced the strongest reaction. Four dominant peptides were screened from the G protein-specific peptide library and the 72nd peptide produced the strongest reaction. Conclusions:In this study, 12 F antigen-specific and 4 G antigen-specific H-2 d restricted dominant T cell epitopes of NiV were screened and identified by IFN-γ ELISPOT, which could provide reference for immunological analysis of NiV and vaccine research.
