pubmed:abstractText
The U1-70kD autoantigen is a major target of B cell responses in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTD). T cell responses are important in the pathogenesis of CTD, however little is known about autoantigen-specific T cells in these diseases. We have recently proven that U1-70kD-reactive human T cells exist. To further characterize these autoreactive T cells, U1-70kD-reactive T cell clones have been generated from patients with CTD using either a recombinant fusion protein or synthetic peptides spanning the U1-70kD polypeptide. T cell receptors (TCR) isolated from the U1-70kD-reactive T cell clones were sequenced and the third complementarity-determining region (CDR3) compared to determine if a common motif was present. mAb blocking of antigen-induced proliferation was done to determine the HLA restriction element used in recognition of the U1-70kD autoantigen by T cells. The results presented here indicate that TCRAV CDR3 usage is highly restricted among U1-70kD autoantigen-specific human T cells clones derived from CTD patients with distinctive structural features. Furthermore, the recognition of the U1-70kD autoantigen occurs in the context of HLA-DR.
