| Abstract | Identification of cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules on tumor cells is critical for the design of active immunotherapy. We describe the use of combinatorial peptide libraries with defined amino acids in two MHC anchor positions to search for epitopes that are recognized by H-2Db- and Kb-restricted CTL specific for the mouse lymphoma EL4. An iterative strategy was used for screening libraries in which 16 amino acids were divided into 3 groups and 3 subgroups: alpha (AL, VT, FY); beta (GS, P, DE); gamma (KR, H, NQ). The proportions of each group and subgroup at individual peptide positions were changed in the library synthesis, and the effect of these changes on CTL activity was measured in a sensitive RMA-S cell assay. A single H-2Db epitope mimic was deduced from the original library that contained > 2 x 10(8) potential peptides and was at least 9 logs more potent than the original library. Immunization of syngeneic mice with this peptide elicited CTL that lysed EL4 cells as well as RMA-S cells pulsed with peptides isolated from Db molecules of EL4 cells, indicating functional similarity between the mimicking peptide and the naturally processed CTL epitope. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of such a CTL line had a therapeutic effect in mice with EL4 established as an ascites tumor. Two H-2Kb-restricted epitope mimics of the same tumor were also identified. Our method represents a novel approach for the construction of MHC class I-restricted targets that can serve as immunogens for active immunotherapy of cancer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
