New clues to effective HIV vaccineCreated: Monday, November 08, 2010 Print
Slight differences in five HLA amino acids may explain why certain people resist the human immunodeficiency virus, US researchers said in a study that lends new clues about how to make an Aids vaccine.
"For a long time, we've known that some people progress extremely rapidly when they get infected, and others can stay well for three decades and never need treatment and still look entirely well," said Dr. Bruce Walker of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University, whose study appeared online in Science.
Specific amino acids in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B peptide binding groove predicted protective and risk HLA alleles to persistent HIV infection.

In mice termed histocompatibility antigens (H-2 antigens).
In humans termed human leukocyte antigens (HLA).

So how do MHC molecules work ?T helper and cytotoxic cells go around the body checking the pockets of the MHC molecules their TCR recognizes. If the pocket is empty they do nothing.If a CD8+ cells finds something in the pocket of a MHC 1 molecule it recognizes, it kills the cell bearing this MHC1.If a CD4+ cells finds something in the pocket of a MHC2 molecule it recognizes, it produces cytokines that can enhance immune functions of that cell and it can trigger the class switch if the cell is a B lymphocyte.

So how do peptides get into MHC1 and MHC2 class molecules?
• Class 1 molecules use the Endogenous pathway.
• Class 2 molecules use the Exogenous pathway.

LMP2, LMP 7, LMP 10 are proteases associated with ~10% of proteasomesAnd produce peptide fragments 8-10 AA in length- perfect for MHC1 binding site.
Small peptides migrate to Transporter-associated with antigen processing = TAP on RER.

T cell receptor:
T cells bind MHC class 1 molecules using CD8 and with a alpha beta TCR they search the peptide binding cleft.
T cells bind MHC class 2 molecules using CD4 and with a alpha beta TCR they search the binding cleft. There are 2x the number of Th vs. Tc.

How are T cell receptor types mutually exclusive?
• A productive arrangement of the alpha on chromosome 14 excises the delta chain gene segments which lie between the variable alpha genes and the J alpha genes.

T cells are MHC restricted. They only help or kill cells with whom they share MHC.

This work indicated that T cells recognize both MHC and specific antigen fragments.
Does one receptor recognize the MHC and another receptor recognize the antigen fragment embedded in the binding site on the MHC ? Or is there one receptor with specificity for MHC in combination with a specific antigen
fragment ?

Rejection Mechanisms
Rejection is an adaptive immune response and is mediated through both T cell mediated and humoral immune (antibodies) mechanisms. The number of mismatched alleles determines the speed and magnitude of the rejection response. Different grafts usually have a proclivity to a certain mechanism of rejection.

The pocket of a MHC 1 molecule can be empty or contain a fragment of antigen.

So how do MHC molecules work ?
T helper and cytotoxic cells go around the body checking the pockets of the MHC molecules their TCR recognizes.
If the pocket is empty they do nothing.
If a CD8+ cells finds something in the pocket of a MHC 1 molecule it recognizes, it kills the cell bearing this MHC1.
If a CD4+ cells finds something in the pocket of a MHC2 molecule it recognizes, it produces cytokines that can enhance immune functions of that cell and it can trigger the class switch if the cell is a B lymphocyte.
