Elimination of human T cell leukemia virus type-1-infected cells by neutralizing and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity-inducing antibodies against human t cell leukemia virus type-1 envelope gp46.
Human T cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is prevalent worldwide with foci of high prevalence. However, to date no effective vaccine or drug against HTLV-1 infection has been developed. In efforts to define the role of antibodies in the control of HTLV-1 infection, we capitalized on the use of our previously defined anti-gp46 neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) (clone LAT-27) and high titers of human anti-HTLV-1 IgG purified from HAM/TSP patients (HAM-IgG). LAT-27 and HAM-IgG completely blocked syncytium formation and T cell immortalization mediated by HTLV-1 in vitro. The addition of these antibodies to cultures of CD8(+) T cell-depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HAM/TSP patients at the initiation of culture not only decreased the numbers of Tax-expressing cells and the production of HTLV-1 p24 but also inhibited the spontaneous immortalization of T cells. Coculture of in vitro-HTLV-1-immortalized T cell lines with autologous PBMCs in the presence of LAT-27 or HAM-IgG, but not an F(ab')2 fragment of LAT-27 or nonneutralizing anti-gp46 mAbs, resulted in depletion of HTLV-1-infected cells. A 24-h (51)Cr release assay showed the presence of significant antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity in LAT-27 and HAM-IgG, but not F(ab')2 of LAT-27, resulting in the depletion of HTLV-1-infected T cells by autologous PBMCs. The depletion of natural killer (NK) cells from the effector PBMCs reduced this ADCC activity. Altogether, the present data demonstrate that the neutralizing and ADCC-inducing activities of anti-HTLV-1 antibodies are capable of reducing infection and eliminating HTLV-1-infected cells in the presence of autologous PBMCs.Yuetsu Tanaka, Yoshiaki Takahashi, Reiko Tanaka, Akira Kodama, Hideki Fujii, Atsuhiko Hasegawa, Mari Kannagi, Aftab A Ansari, Mineki Saito

Expression of HTLV-I Env and Tax recombinant peptides in yeast: identification of immunogenic domains.
A peptide library of HTLV-I Env and Tax proteins was constructed in yeast in order to characterize which domains of these proteins are immunogenic in HTLV-I-infected individuals. Five yeast colonies (A to E) were selected using HTLV-I positive plasma, and one yeast colony (F) was selected using rabbit anti-Tax sera. Plasmid DNA present in each positive clone was recovered and sequenced. Overlapping clones A to E covered the C-terminal part of the gp46 exterior glycoprotein (aa 197 to 305) and were all glycosylated. Clone F encoded the C-terminal 25 aa of Tax (aa 329-353). Recombinant peptides were recognized by more than 40% of the HTLV-I positive human sera, confirming that they are major immunodominant domains. We studied the antibody response to each recombinant peptide in patients with TSP/HAM and asymptomatic carriers. Higher absorbance values were obtained with sera from TSP/HAM patients than from asymptomatic carriers, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Our study confirms that the COOH-terminal region of gp46 is highly immunogenic in HTLV-I-infected individuals and demonstrates a new immunogenic epitope of the Tax protein.N Noraz, S Benichou, P Madaule, P Tiollais, J C Vernant, C Desgranges
