We report for the first time the immunoadjuvant effects of lipoconjugation of peptide antigens in an in vitro system by using CD4+ T-cells. The lipopeptides obtained by conjugating a palmitoyl moiety at the N(alpha)-terminal of Gln(74) or at the epsilon-NH(2) of Lys(75) of GpMBP(74-85) induced increased T-cell responsiveness compared to the native nonlipidated peptide. On the other hand, lipoderivatives of GpMBP(82-98) did not increase the T-cell response, demonstrating that the superagonist inducing effect of lipoconjugation is epitope-specific. Digestion of the two native peptides with cathepsin D and L, both implicated in antigen processing, and with a complete lysosomal fraction of a EBV-transformed B cell line shows that GpMBP(74-85) is resistant to cellular proteases, while GpMBP(82-98) is easily digested by these enzymes. These results suggest that the first prerequisite for increasing the T-cell response by lipoconjugation is the stability of the native peptide to peptidases, providing an important insight into the understanding of the immunoadjuvant effect of lipoderivative antigens.
