A long half-life is required for the presentation
of M1 to HLA-DR1-restricted T cells but not to HLA-A2-restricted T
cells. Lysis by the M1-specific HLA-DR1-restricted T-cell clone C3.5
(a–c) or by the M1-specific HLA-A2-restricted T-cell
line Q157 (d–f) of 721.45 cells that were untreated
(×), incubated with synthetic peptide (♦, M1 18–31 in
a, M1 58–66 in d), or infected with
Vac-H3 (▵), infected with Vac-Ub-Met-NP-M1 (b
and e) or with Vac-Ub-Arg-NP-M1 (c
and f). The doses of virus were 30 (○), 10
(•), 1 (□), and 0.3 (▪) pfu/cell and
each infection lasted 4 h.
