HLA Restrictiоn аnd T Cell Recоgnitiоn in Virаl Infections Bаckground: In a study on HLA-restricted T cell responses, researchers investigate how CD8+ T cells from individuals with different HLA alleles respond to influenza virus infection. They collect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from two human donors: Donor A: Expresses HLA-A*02:01 and HLA-B*35:01 Donor B: Expresses HLA-A*11:01 and HLA-B*07:02 After infecting HLA-matched and HLA-mismatched target cells with influenza virus, the researchers measure CD8+ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity using a killing assay. Experimental Results: Target Cell Type Lysis by CD8+ T Cells from Donor A Lysis by CD8+ T Cells from Donor B HLA-A*02:01+ cells infected with influenza +++++ 0 HLA-A*11:01+ cells infected with influenza 0 ++++ HLA-B*35:01+ cells infected with influenza +++ 0 HLA-B*07:02+ cells infected with influenza 0 +++++ Uninfected HLA-matched cells 0 0 (A) Why do CD8+ T cells from Donor A only kill virus-infected target cells that express HLA-A*02:01 or HLA-B*35:01, while ignoring HLA-mismatched cells? (2 points) (B) Briefly define one possible reason for the difference in responses of Donor A CTL to target cells expressing HLA-A*02:01 vs. HLA-B*35:01. (2 points) (C) Consider a new viral mutation that alters the peptide sequence presented by HLA-A*02:01. Briefly describe two ways in which this might affect the CD8+ T cell response in Donor A. (4 points) (D) Briefly describe how this experiment should be modified to test CD4+ T cell responses to influenza virus, instead of CD8+ T cell responses. Be sure to mention the expected results of your experiment. (6 points)
