Abstract

Identification of peptides presented in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules after viral infection is of strategic importance for vaccine development. Until recently, mass spectrometric identification of virus-induced peptides was based on comparative analysis of peptide pools isolated from uninfected and virus-infected cells. Here we report on a powerful strategy aiming at the rapid, unambiguous identification of naturally processed MHC class I-associated peptides, which are induced by viral infection. The methodology, stable isotope tagging of epitopes (SITE), is based on metabolic labeling of endogenously synthesized proteins during infection. This is accomplished by culturing virus-infected cells with stable isotope-labeled amino acids that are expected to be anchor residues (i.e. residues of the peptide that have amino acid side chains that bind into pockets lining the peptide-binding groove of the MHC class I molecule) for the human leukocyte antigen allele of interest. Subsequently these cells are mixed with an equal number of non-infected cells, which are cultured in normal medium. Finally peptides are acid-eluted from immunoprecipitated MHC molecules and subjected to two-dimensional nanoscale LC-MS analysis. Virus-induced peptides are identified through computer-assisted detection of characteristic, binomially distributed ratios of labeled and unlabeled molecules. Using this approach we identified novel measles virus and respiratory syncytial virus epitopes as well as infection-induced self-peptides in several cell types, showing that SITE is a unique and versatile method for unequivocal identification of disease-related MHC class I epitopes.

The adaptive immune response to virus infections is characterized by the generation of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), 1The abbreviations used are: CTL, cytotoxic T lymphocyte; FBS, fetal bovine serum; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; DC, dendritic cell; iDC, immature dendritic cell; MHC, major histocompatibility complex; m.o.i., multiplicity of infection; MV, measles virus; PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell; PTM, post-translational modification; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; RSV-F, RSV fusion protein; RSV-NS, RSV nonstructural protein; SCX, strong cation exchange; SITE, stable isotope tagging of epitopes; RRf, relative response factor; nanoscale LC-MS, nanoscale reversed phase LC and MS. 1The abbreviations used are: CTL, cytotoxic T lymphocyte; FBS, fetal bovine serum; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; DC, dendritic cell; iDC, immature dendritic cell; MHC, major histocompatibility complex; m.o.i., multiplicity of infection; MV, measles virus; PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell; PTM, post-translational modification; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; RSV-F, RSV fusion protein; RSV-NS, RSV nonstructural protein; SCX, strong cation exchange; SITE, stable isotope tagging of epitopes; RRf, relative response factor; nanoscale LC-MS, nanoscale reversed phase LC and MS. which recognize peptides presented by MHC class I molecules of infected cells. The MHC class I molecules display peptides from proteins expressed inside the cell that are usually generated in the classical proteasomal pathway. Under physiological conditions these peptides are derived from self-proteins. During viral infection, the MHC class I display of peptides is affected due to changes in host protein expression and as a result of the production of viral proteins (1York I.A. Rock K.L.

Viruses and interferon: a fight for supremacy.Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2002; 2: 675-687Crossref PubMed Scopus (856) Google Scholar). Identification and quantification of such altered MHC-peptide expression is a goal as part of a new field of research referred to as immunoproteomics and is of strategic importance for vaccine development (1York I.A.

The analytical challenge lies in the discrimination between the few disease-related peptides among a majority of nondisease-related peptides (6de Jong A. Contribution of mass spectrometry to contemporary immunology.Mass Spectrom. Rev. 1998; 17: 311-335Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Several strategies have been developed to explore changes in the MHC-associated peptide display on antigen-presenting cells. These analyses are generally based on the isolation of the MHC-peptide complexes, acid elution of the bound peptides from the MHC molecules followed by analysis using LC and MS as pioneered by Hunt et al. (7Hunt D.F. Henderson R.A. Shabanowitz J. Sakaguchi K. Michel H. Sevilir N. Cox A.L. Appella E. Engelhard V.H.
