摘要

Identification of immunodominant CD8(+) T cell responses to frequently expressed tumor antigens across MHC class I polymorphism is essential for the implementation of cancer immunotherapy. However, the key factors that determine immunodominance are not fully understood. Because of its frequent expression in tumors and its spontaneous immunogenicity, NY-ESO-1 is a prime target of cancer vaccines and an ideal model antigen for elucidating the molecular basis of immunodominant tumor-specific CD8(+) T cell responses. Here, we have assessed CD8(+)T cell responses to full-length NY-ESO-1 in cancer patients. We identified 3 immunodominant regions of the protein located within 3 distinct clusters of MHC class I binding sequences that co-localize with previously defined clusters of MHC class II binding sequences, are predicted to be hydrophobic and undergo efficient proteasomal processing. Our results support the concept that epitope clustering within defined protein regions identifies tumor antigen immunodominant regions and suggest a general strategy for their identification.
