The effect of the interferon-gamma-inducible processing machinery on the generation of a naturally tumor-associated human cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitope within a wild-type and mutant p53 sequence context.

Abstract excerpt

The human wild-type (wt) p53.264-272 peptide is a universal tumor antigen and recognized by HLA-A*0201 (A2.1)-restricted CTL. Generation of this epitope by constitutive 20S proteasomes is prevented by a p53 R to H hotspot mutation at the C-terminal flanking residue 273. We report on the impact of the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-inducible proteasomal activator PA28 (11S regulator) and the immunoproteasome on the...
