摘要
目的制备加载白血病抗原肽PR1的HLA-A*0201四聚体。方法构建HLA-A*0201-BSP和β2-微球蛋白(β2M)原核表达载体,进行目的蛋白表达、纯化。在体外将PR1(VLQELNVIV)与纯化的HLA-A*0201-BSP、β2M通过稀释复性折叠成HLA-A*0201-PR1复合物。利用BirA酶进行生物素标记。再经阴离子交换纯化得到生物素化的HLA-A*0201-PR1复合物单体。此单体与PE标记的链霉亲和素按4:1比例混合,即可形成四聚体。结果成功制备了HLA-A*0201-PRl四聚体。结论制备的HLA-A*0201-PR1四聚体为定量检测白血病患者体内PR1抗原特异性的细胞毒性T淋巴细胞提供了有力工具。
Objective To construct PR1-specific HIA-A * 0201-peptide tetramer, and to identify PRl-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTL) in patients with leukemia.Methods Recombinant HIA-A * 0201 heavy chain and β2-micmglobulin (β2M) were prepared in Escherichia coli cells transformed with pBV220 and pET-17b vectors, respectively. Only the extracellular region HLA-A * 0201 was cloned by RT-PCR from HLA-A2 donor,and a 15-amino acid BirA substmte peptide (BSP) for BirA-dependent biotinylation was added into the COOH-terminus of HIA-A * 0201 heavy chain.HLA-A * 0201-BSP and β2 M were refolded to form a HLA-A * 0201-peptide complex by dilution method in the presence of a leukemia-associated antigen peptide PR1, a HLA-A * 0201 restricted peptide from proteinase 3(169-177 AA, VLQELNVTV).Refolded HLA-A * 0201-PR1 complex monomer was biofinylated using a BirA enzyme and purified by anion exchange chromatography on a Q-Sepharose (fast flow)column. Tetramers were generated by mixing biotinylated HIA-A * 0201-PR1 monomer with streptavidin - PE at a molar ratio of 4:1.Retmlts The expression levels of pBV220-HIA-A * 0201-BSP and pET-β2 M were 28% and 32% of total bacterial proteins estimated from SDS-PAGE,respectively. They were mainly expressed in the form of inclusion body and final purity was 90%. The refolded HLA-A * 0201-PR1 complex monomer was detected by Westem blot with monoclonal antibody BB7.2 that recognized the natural conformations of HIA-A2. HIA-A * 0201-PR1 tetramer was successfully obtained. Conclusion High-efficient expressions of HIA-A * 0201-BSP and β2 M recombinant protein provide the basis for the preparation of HIA-A * 0201 tetramers to study the function of CTL. Especially, using HLA-A * 0201-PR1 tetranmr can detect the frequencies of the PR1-specific CD8 * CTL directly in vitro.
