Outline of Final Research Achievements

We attempted to identify antigens recognized by HLA-B*40:02-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that might be related to the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia. Because the CTLs exerted cytotoxic activity on K562 cells transduced with HLA-B*40:02, we prepared cDNA libraries from messenger RNA extracted from K562. After extensive screening, a cDNA clone that stimulated interferon-gamma release from one of the CTLs was found. The cDNA was encoded by OS9 whose protein is known to be located in the endoplasmic reticulum and also involved in the hypoxic stress, implicating the potential involvement in the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia. The minimum epitope sequence was composed of 11 amino acids: MAAETLLSSLL. Using the peptide, functional analyses are ongoing. An antigen recognized by another CTL with suppressive function in hematopoietic cells has not been identified, even after screening more than 100,000 cDNA clones.
