摘要

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that most significant mammalian respiratory allergens are lipocalin proteins, information on the human T cell reactivity to these allergenic proteins is largely missing. OBJECTIVE: Knowing the T cell epitopes in allergens is a prerequisite for developing novel preparations for allergen immunotherapy. METHODS: Specific T cell lines were generated with recombinant Equ c 1 from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 10 horse-allergic subjects. For determining T cell epitopes, the lines were stimulated with 16mer synthetic Equ c 1 peptides overlapping by 14 amino acids. The binding capacity of Equ c 1 peptides to human leucocyte antigen class II molecules was determined by the competitive ELISA. RESULTS: The major horse allergen Equ c 1 resembles two other lipocalin allergens, the major cow allergen Bos d 2 and the major dog allergen Can f 1, in that it is weakly stimulatory for the PBMCs of sensitized subjects. Moreover, the T cell epitopes of Equ c 1 are clustered in a few regions along the molecule, as is the case with Bos d 2 and Can f 1. Similar to Bos d 2, Equ c 1 contains one immunodominant epitope region at the carboxy-terminal end of the molecule. The T cell lines of eight horse-allergic subjects out of 10 showed strong reactivity to one or both of the two overlapping peptides, p143-158 and p145-160, in this region. The region probably contains two overlapping epitopes. CONCLUSION: The 18mer peptide p143-160 from the immunodominant region of Equ c 1 is a potential candidate for the peptide-based immunotherapy of horse-sensitized subjects.
