首先对41种人和小鼠的T细胞受体β链可变基因编码肽段(Vβ)的氨基酸序列进行多序列对准,就Vβ之第四高变区(HV4)片段进行比较,分析与超抗原毒素休克综合征毒素-1(TSST-1)结合的四种Vβ(小鼠Vβ3、Vβ15、Vβ17和人Vβ2)之HV4序列内是否存在特定的氨基酸残基排列模式。结果发现:小鼠Vβ3和Vβ17的HV4具有特异的RFSAXCXSNS模式,而小鼠Vβ15和人Vβ2的HV4则含独特的KFXIXH模式。提示:与TSST-1结合的四种Vβ所对应的T细胞识别表位可能不止一个。
Firstly, the amino acid sequences of the peptide encoding the variable region of β-chain of the T cell receptor (Vβ) of 41 human and mouse were aligned by multiple sequence to compare the HV4 segment of Vβ. Whether there is a specific pattern of amino acid residues in the HV4 sequences of the four Vβs (mouse Vβ3, Vβ15, Vβ17 and human Vβ2) to which the superantigen Toxin Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) binds. As a result, it was found that HV4 of mouse Vβ3 and Vβ17 has a specific RFSAXCXSNS pattern, whereas HV4 of mouse Vβ15 and human Vβ2 have a unique KFXIXH pattern. Tip: The four Vβ binding to TSST-1 may correspond to more than one T cell recognition epitope.
