Definitions
- CD4 + T cells are one of the main cells that regulate the immune response. Specific to antigens, they are in fact capable of recognizing the presence of a pathogenic agent, an allergen or a tumor cell and of triggering an immune response. The recognition of these antigens in fact leads to the activation of CD4 + T lymphocytes which secrete most of the cyto ines necessary for the recovery of effector cells which are the cytotoxic CD8 + lymphocytes and the B lymphocytes which produce antibodies. CD4 + T lymphocytes also intervene in the activation of cells by cellular contacts and for example induce the activation, by the CD40 molecule, of dendritic cells presenting the antigen.
- CD4 + T lymphocytes The activation of CD4 + T lymphocytes is a favorable prognosis during infections with viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HTV), human papillomavirus (HPV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) and these cells appear to be necessary for anti-tumor immunity.
- viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HTV), human papillomavirus (HPV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) and these cells appear to be necessary for anti-tumor immunity.
- HTV human immunodeficiency virus
- HPV human papillomavirus
- HCV hepatitis C virus
- CD4 + T lymphocytes the role of CD4 + T lymphocytes in triggering transplant rejection is well established.
- the treatments aim to trigger the activation of CD4 + T lymphocytes (vaccination against a pathogenic agent or a tumor cell) or to decrease the activation state of CD4 + T lymphocytes (desensitization against allergy , prevention of transplant rejection).
- CD4 + T lymphocytes The activation of CD4 + T lymphocytes occurs under the effect of the presentation of antigenic peptides by the molecules of the major type II histocompatibility complex carried by antigen presenting cells (APC for Antigen Presenting Celî); in humans, they are called HLA II molecules for Human Leukocyte Antigen type II.
- APC Antigen Presenting Celî
- HLA II molecules Human Leukocyte Antigen type II.
- T epitopes result from the proteolytic degradation of antigens by antigen presenting cells. They have variable lengths, generally from 13 to 25 amino acids and have a sequence which makes them capable of binding to HLA IL II molecules. It is well known that, like the native antigen, an epitope T peptide is capable of stimulate specific CD4 + T lymphocytes in vitro or recruit them in vivo.
- T epitope peptides are therefore likely both to participate in the composition of a vaccine or to serve to decrease the unwanted activation of CD4 + T lymphocytes. They are also likely to participate in a diagnostic test of the immune status of normal patients or individuals based on direct detection (lymphocyte proliferation test) or indirect (production of antibodies, cytokines ...) said activated CD4 + T cells.
- HLA II molecules are heterodimers consisting of an alpha ( ⁇ ) chain and a polymorphic beta ( ⁇ ) chain.
- HLA-DR alpha chain
- ⁇ beta chain
- HLA-DP 1 HLA-DP
- the HLA-DR molecule whose beta chain ( ⁇ ) is encoded by the DRB1 gene is the most expressed.
- the beta chain encoded by the DRB1 gene is the most polymorphic and has 273 alleles.
- the two chains ( ⁇ and ⁇ ) which constitute them are polymorphic but they have fewer alleles.
- the combination between the two chains ⁇ and ⁇ encoded by these alleles gives rise to many molecules HLA-DQ and HLA-DP. Due to this polymorphism, these isoforms have different binding properties, which implies that they can bind different peptides of the same antigen.
- each individual recognizes in an antigen a set of peptides whose nature depends on the HLA II molecules which characterizes it. Since there are a large number of LILA II alleles, it can be assumed that there exists in a given sequence a large repertoire of T epitope peptides of very different sequences, each specific for a different allele.
- HLA-DP4 The gene frequencies of the 2 HLA-DP4 molecules are indicated in bold. Thus, for the HLA-DR and HLA-DQ molecules, a dozen alleles are sufficient to cover more than 60% of the gene frequency found in the Caucasian population and therefore concern more than 85% of the Caucasian population.
- HLA-DP molecules the most common molecule is the DP4 molecule from the DPA1 * 0103 and DPB1 * 0401 alleles which have gene frequencies of 78.2% and 40% respectively.
- DP3 molecule DPA1 * 0103 / DPB1 * 0301
- DP2 molecule DPA1 * 0103 / DPB1 * 0201
- DP4 molecule DPA1 * 0103 / DPB 1 * 0402
- HLA-DP molecules (1 DP3 molecule, 1 DP2 molecule and 2 DP4 molecules) are therefore sufficient to cover 71% of the gene frequency of the Caucasian population, the two DP4 molecules, alone covering 51%
- Each of these molecules DP4 includes a variable ⁇ chain encoded either by DPA1 * 0103 which is the most frequent (78.2%) or by DPA1 * 0201 (20.2%), the two ⁇ chains differing only at the level of 3 amino acids ( positions 31, 50 and 83; Table II)
- the HLA-DP4 molecules which have a frequency that is only high in the Caucasian population (of the order of 50% in Europe and 80% in North America), are also present at non-negligible frequencies in other populations (unhealthy frequency of the order of 60% in South America, 60% in India, 25% in Africa and 15% in Japan, Colombam et al, cited above)

- PI and P7 are hydrophobic or aromatic (Y, V, L, F, I, A, M, W) and P9 / P10 are preferably aliphatic; however, a residue Y is tolerated in position P9 / P10 but not a residue F.
- the residues PI and P7 are preceded by groups of charged residues (K, R, E, N, Q for PI and N, K, E for P7 ), and small residues (A, V) are frequent in positions P3 and P9.
- Table ILI shows that the only other DP4 ligand peptides exhibiting this motif are the overlapping peptides NY-ESO1 161-180 and NY-ESO1 156-175. Consequently, this motif proposed by FALK et al. does not make it possible to define a binding motif for DP4 molecules shared by all of the ligand peptides of DP4 molecules, identified by functional tests. While tests for binding to DP9 molecules (DONG et al, J.
- Immunol, 2000, 164, 3177 allow the isolation of specific peptides from DP9 and DP2 respectively, these tests do not make it possible to isolate specific peptides of DP4 (CHICZ et al, cited above): the peptides isolated by the DP2 binding test have a strong affinity for DP2 (binding activity ⁇ 10 nM) whereas peptides known to be restricted to DP4, such as the peptide HBsAg 14-33, exhibit poor activity (20 ⁇ M). In addition, due to the significant differences in the residues of the binding site between the main DP molecules, the binding tests developed for these molecules do not make it possible to identify peptides restricted to DP4.
- binding motifs shared by all of the peptides capable of binding to HLA-DP4 molecules have not been identified, in particular because there is no simple method for identifying such peptides. to be implemented and adapted to the simultaneous screening of a large number of peptides as overlapping peptide libraries representing the antigen sequence of interest.
- the peptides that bind to DP4 molecules constitute candidate peptides for specific immunotherapy and vaccination and could be used to diagnose the immune status of normal patients or individuals.
