Abstract

A 65 kDa mycobacterial heat shock protein (hsp65), fused to a polypeptide that contains an octapeptide (SIYRYYGL) agonist for a particular T cell receptor (2C TCR), stimulated C57BL/6 mice as well as CD4-deficient mice to produce CD8⁺ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) to the fusion partner's octapeptide. This and other hsp65 fusion proteins but not native hsp65 itself stimulated dendritic cells in vitro and in vivo to upregulate the levels of MHC (class I and II) and costimulatory (B7.2) molecules. The results suggest a mechanism for the general finding that hsp fusion proteins, having fusion partners of widely differing lengths and sequences, elicit CD8 CTL to peptides from the fusion partners without requiring exogenous adjuvants or the participation of CD4⁺ T cells.
