Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a central role in the control of persistent human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in healthy virus carriers. Previous analyses of the specificity of HCMV-reactive CD8+ CTLs drawn from in vitro models in which antigen-presenting cells were autologous fibroblasts infected with laboratory HCMV strains have shown focusing of CTL responses against the major tegument protein, pp65. By contrast, the 72-kDa major immediate-early protein (IE1) was identified as a minor target for this response. Here we have studied the fine specificity and T-cell-receptor features of T-cell clones generated against autologous B lymphoblastoid cell lines stably transfected with HCMV cDNA coding for either pp65 or a natural variant of IE1. This strategy allowed efficient generation of T-cell clones against IE1 and pp65 and led to the identification of several new IE1 and pp65 epitopes, including some located in polymorphic regions of IE1. Such an approach may provide relevant information about the characteristics of the CTL response to IE1 and the effect of viral polymorphism on the immune response against HCMV.
