  • Title: Modification of H-2 antigenic sites by enzymatic treatment influences virus-specific target cell lysis.
    Author: Ertl HC, Koszinowski UH.
    Journal: J Immunol; 1976 Dec; 117(6):2112-8. PubMed ID: 993596.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus-infected cells were treated enzymatically to remove H-2 antigenic sites. The effect of this procedure on virus-specific cell-mediated cytolysis (CMC) and virus-specific antibody-mediated cytolysis (AMC) was tested. Due to the inhibition of cellular proteinsynthesis by the vaccinia virus infection, H-2 antigenic sites were not resynthesized while there was a continuous production of viral surface antigens. These cells with a high concentration of viral surface antigens and decreased H-2 determinants could be used as targets in the virus specific AMC which emphasizes the significance of H-2 antigens during recognition of virus-specific determinants by T cells.
