IDE is not involved in endogenous MHC-I presentation of viral antigens and a self antigen.

As control, 100,000 EL4 cells were incubated with S8L or irrelevant peptide TSYFESEV (T8V). After 16 h (left) and 48 h (right), T cell activation was assessed by measuring the IL-2 concentration in the supernatants and T cell proliferation by the dilution of CFSE, respectively. <b>B</b>, HeLa-K<sup>b</sup> cells were transfected with siRNA. Seventy-two hours later, the cells were infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus encoding ovalbumin or the H-2K<sup>b</sup> restricted epitope SIINFEKL, or pulsed with 10<sup>−10</sup>M SIINFEKL peptide and incubated with SIINFEKL-specific OT-I T cells, using different effector to target ratios. Secretion of IFN-γ by OT-I cells was measured by ELISA. In panel <b>C</b>, formation of S8L/H2-K<sup>b</sup> complexes at the cell surface of IDE wt and ko C57BL/6 MEFs was evaluated 6 h after infection with vaccinia viruses expressing OVA or not (CTRL), by staining cells with mAb 25D1.16; numbers indicate the MFI for 25D1.16. Panel <b>D</b> shows an equivalent experiment with siRNA transfected HeLa-D<sup>d</sup> cells and CTL recognizing a peptide from HIV gp160. Here the antigens were (from left to right) 10<sup>−7</sup>M cognate peptide G9I, wt vaccinia virus, vaccinia virus encoding HIV-env, and a plasmid encoding peptide G9I (pM-G9I). Presentation was assessed using a standard kill assay with an effector to target ratio of 2∶1. <b>E,</b> HEK293-K<sup>d</sup> cells stably expressing an IGRP-GFP fusion protein were transfected with siRNA and acid stripped 56 h after transfection (IGRP). Prior to addition of CTLs at an E:T ratio of 1∶1, 72 h after transfection, part of the target cells was incubated with epoxomicin (Epo). Secretion of IFN-γ by CTLs was measured by standard ELISA. Cells treated as described and pulsed with 10<sup>−6</sup>M super-agonist peptide NRP-V7 were positive controls. One out of 3 (A, <b>B</b>, <b>D</b>), 2 (<b>C</b>) or 5 (<b>E</b>) experiments is shown.</p> 2014-02-07 14:45:56 Anatomy and physiology Immune physiology Immune cells Biochemistry enzymes Enzyme classes hydrolases metabolism Protein metabolism immunology Antigen-presenting cells Antigen processing and recognition Immune response Immune system immunity Major histocompatibility complex Model organisms Animal models Animal types Laboratory animals endogenous mhc-i viral antigens
