T cell epitopes of the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium vivax. Recognition by lymphocytes of a sporozoite-immunized chimpanzee
Abstract
The humoral and cellular antisporozoite immune responses of a laboratory-born chimpanzee were measured following multiple exposures to the bites of Plasmodium vivax-infected mosquitoes. T cell lines and clones derived from the chimpanzee's PBL were used to identify T cell epitopes of the P. vivax circumsporozoite (CS) protein. Two independently obtained cell lines, established by culturing the PBL with either a recombinant P. vivax circumsporozoite (rPvCS) protein or a pool of synthetic peptides spanning the rPvCS sequence, recognized a 20-mer peptide from a nonpolymorphic region of the carboxyl terminus of the CS protein. This peptide overlaps a sequence homologous to region II of the Plasmodium falciparum CS protein. A third T cell line recognized an epitope within the central repeat domain, which has recently been found to be a polymorphic region of the P. vivax CS protein. The CD4+ clones derived from this third T cell line secreted IFN-gamma and IL-2 when stimulated with either the P. vivax repeat peptide (DRAAGQPAG)2 or the rPvCS protein.
