The clonotypic T-cell receptor (TCR) is a potential target antigen for specific immunotherapy of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). We identified T-cell epitopes from the rearranged TCR beta chain of the malignant T-cell population by the "reverse immunology" approach. Peptide-specific T-cell lines were generated against predicted epitopes and tested for the recognition of tumor cells and cells transfected with the full-length DNA coding for TCRV beta chain. Two peptides derived from the clonotypic TCRV beta of a HLA-A2 positive patient could induce peptide-specific T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors and the patient as assessed by IFN-gamma ELISpot assay. Furthermore, the reactive CTLs efficiently recognized autologous Sezary tumor cells, as well as HLA-A2 positive 293 cells transfected with recombinant plasmid expressing the corresponding TCRV beta 29 protein. Similar results were obtained in a HLA-A3+ patient for TCRV beta 7-J beta 2.7. In conclusion, our experiments show that the TCR beta chain harbors epitopes suitable as targets for specific vaccination which might be a promising approach for the specific immunotherapy of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients.
