Identification of a peptide recognized by five melanoma-specific human cytotoxic T cell lines

AL Cox, J Skipper, Y Chen, RA Henderson, TL Darrow, J Shabanowitz, VH Engelhard, DF Hunt, and CL Slingluff Jr

Department of Chemistry, University of Virginia, Charlottesville 22908.

Of several thousand peptides presented by the major histocompatibility molecule HLA-A2.1, at least nine are recognized by melanoma-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify and to sequence one of these peptide epitopes. Melanoma-specific CTLs had an exceptionally high affinity for this nine-residue peptide, which reconstituted an epitope for CTL lines from each of five different melanoma patients tested. Recognition by multiple CTL lines suggests that this may be a promising candidate for use in peptide-based melanoma vaccines.
