Project description:Characterisation of peptide ligands of Major histocompatibility class (MHC) I isolated by immunoaffinity purification from the C1R (Class I reduced) B-lymphoblastoid cell line, transfected with the MHC class I allele HLA-A*01:01, or HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*24:02. In addition, public mass spectrometry (MS) datasets of HLA-I and HLA-II immunopeptidome derived from patients’ samples, PBMC or cell lines, and shotgun proteomics from trypsin/elastase digestion were analysed.
Project description:Analysis of peptide presentation by Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) class I of influenza B infected C1R cells expressing HLA-B*07:02, -B*08:01 or -B*35:01.
Project description:HLA-C expresion varies widely across the different HLA-C alleles. MicroRNA binding can partly explain the differences in HLA-C allele expression however other contributing factors still remain undetermined. Here we use two common HLA-C alleles, HLA-C*05:01 and HLA-C*07:02, to explore differences in expression levels. Using functional, structural and peptide repertoire comparisons we demonstrate that HLA-C expression levels are not only modulated at the RNA level but also at the protein level. This dataset contains RAW data and database search results for HLA-C*05:01 and HLA-C*07:02 from the 721.221 cell line.
Project description:Several HLA allelic variants have been associated with protection from, or susceptibility to infectious and autoimmune diseases. Here, we examined whether specific HLA alleles would be associated with different Mtb infection outcomes. We found that DQA1*03:01, DPB1*04:02, and DRB4*01:01 were signficantly more frequent in inividuals with active TB (susceptibility alleles). Furthermore, individuals who express any of the three susceptibility alleles were associated with lower magnitude of responses against Mtb antigens. We investigated the gene expression changes induced in PBMCs by Mtb lysate and a peptide pool (MTB300) in individuals with or without expression of the susceptibility alleles.
Project description:Whether the presentation levels of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC, called the human leukocytes antigens, HLA, in humans) is limited by the availability of peptide ligands for loading or by the supply of empty MHC molecules, is a yet unresolved issue. This study aims to tackle this dilemma using large-scale immunopeptidome analyses. First, cultured cells (MCF-7) were treated with interferons, which dramatically increased presentation levels of their HLA-B molecules, much more than HLA-A and HLA-C. The differential increase in the HLA-B molecules with their bound peptides, was driven by elevated HLA synthesis levels and not by supply of peptides, since all three HLA allotypes draw peptides from the same peptide pool, which should have been affected similarly by the interferons treatment. In addition, artificial competition for peptides was created by recombinant high levels expression of soluble HLA-A*02:01 molecules, in the same MCF-7 cells and on top of their endogenous membranal HLA-A*02:01. This high level expression of the soluble HLA did not affect the endogenous membranal HLA-A*02:01 peptidomes or its cell surface presentation levels. We therefore concluded that a surplus supply of peptides is available for loading and that presentation levels are more likely limited by the supply of HLA molecules.
Project description:Somatic mutations in cancer are a potential source of cancer specific neoantigens. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has common recurrent mutations shared between patients in addition to private mutations specific to individuals. We hypothesized that neoantigens derived from recurrent shared mutations would be attractive targets for future immunotherapy and sought to study the Class I and II HLA ligandomes of thirteen primary AML tumor samples and two AML cell lines (OCI-AML3 and MV4-11) using mass spectrometry. We identified two endogenous, mutation-bearing HLA Class I ligands from NPM1, which are predicted to bind the common HLA haplotypes, HLA-A*03:01 and HLA-A*02:01 respectively. We further derived CD8+ T cells from healthy donor peripheral blood samples which bound mutant-peptide loaded A*03:01 and A*02:01 tetramers, suggesting a new source of NPM1 mutation-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) for future evaluation. Since NPM1 is mutated in approximately one-third of patients with AML, the finding of endogenous NPM1 neoantigens supports future studies evaluating immunotherapeutic approaches against this target, for this subset of patients with AML.
Project description:Immunopeptidomes are the peptide repertoires bound by the molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) (human leukocyte antigen (HLA) in humans). These HLA-peptide complexes are presented on the cell surface for immune T cell recognition. Immunopeptidomics utilizes tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to identify and quantify peptides bound to HLA molecules. The dataset deposited here contains the DDA runs used to generate the spectral libraries of the HLA-bound peptides purified and isolated from C1R-B*57:01 and C1R-A*02:01 cell lines.
Project description:This dataset contains further evidence that the HLA-A*02:01+ KRAS G12V+ spliced neoepitope we previously identified (Mishto et al., Front. Immunol. 2019) is produced by proteasomes in various experimental conditions

These HLA-peptide complexes are presented on the cell surface for immune T cell recognition. Immunopeptidomics utilizes tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to identify and quantify peptides bound to HLA molecules. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) has emerged as a powerful strategy for deep proteome-wide profiling, but DIA application to immunopeptidomics analyses has so far seen limited use. The dataset deposited here contains the DIA data of the HLA-bound peptides purified and isolated from C1R-B*57:01 and C1R-A*02:01 cell lines.
