Structural similarity (molecular mimicry) between
viral epitopes and self-peptides can lead to the induction of
autoaggressive CD4+ as well as CD8+ T
cell responses. Based on the flexibility of T cell
receptor/antigen/major histocompatibility complex recognition, it has
been proposed that a self-peptide could replace a viral epitope for T
cell recognition and therefore participate in pathophysiological
processes in which T cells are involved. To address this issue, we
used, as a molecular model of viral antigen, the
H-2Db-restricted immunodominant epitope
nucleoprotein (NP)-(396-404) (FQPQNGQFI) of lymphocytic
choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). We identified peptide sequences from
murine self-proteins that share structural and functional homology with
LCMV NP-(396-404) and that bound to H-2Db with high
affinity. One of these self-peptides, derived from tumor necrosis
factor receptor I (FGPSNWHFM, amino acids 302-310), maintained
LCMV-specific CD8+ T cells in an active state as observed
both in vitro in cytotoxic assays and in vivo
in a model of virus-induced autoimmune diabetes, the rat insulin
promoter-LCMV NP transgenic mouse. The natural occurrence and molecular
concentration at the surface of H-2b spleen cells of tumor
necrosis factor receptor I-(302-310) were determined by on-line
µ-high pressure liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and
supported its biological relevance.
