Unlike the pp65 protein of human cytomegalovirus (CMV), which has an immunodominant peptide, pp65495-503, recognized by human CD8+ cells in the context of HLA A*0201, the fine peptide specificity for CMV IE1 has shown no such immunodominance. With the use of transgenic HLA A*0201/Kb and HHD II mice, a selected pool of IE1 peptides, including IE1p256-264, IE1p297-304, and IE1p316-324, were shown to stimulate cytolytic T-lymphocyte lysis in the context of HLA A*0201. Based on an intracellular gamma interferon response, IE1p297-304, a previously unrecognized CD8 epitope, triggered a prominent response to CMV IE1 in HLA A*0201 subjects.
