Abstract
Little is known about the nature and specificity of T-cell-mediated responses to picornaviruses in humans. In this study, the nature of the T-cell response to seven picornaviruses, including polioviruses, coxsackieviruses B3 and B4, human rhinovirus 14, and encephalomyocarditis virus, was determined. Twenty-nine individuals responded to poliovirus type 3, coxsackievirus B3, and encephalomyocarditis virus by proliferation of T cells, and from such cultures, 130 virus-specific T-cell lines were established. T-cell lines generated in response to encephalomyocarditis virus were exclusively strain specific. However, the majority of T-cell lines established in response to viruses, other than encephalomyocarditis virus, were cross-reactive to each other. Their cross-reactivity was confirmed in 2 of the 30 picornavirus-specific clonally derived T-cell lines from two subjects, but the majority of these lines were serotype specific. T-cell epitopes adjacent to each of the B-cell antigenic sites in VP1 of poliovirus type 3 were identified. The response to the region adjacent to B-cell antigenic site 1 (residues 97 to 114) was dominant between individuals. The localization of this major CD4 T-cell epitope may permit the construction of chimeric viruses utilizing the natural picornavirus T-cell response to augment production of antibody specific for inserted sequences.
