Many CTL epitopes of clinical importance, particularly those derived from tumor Ags, display relatively poor MHC binding affinity and stability. Because in vivo immunogenicity, and thus the efficacy of peptide-based vaccines, is thought to be determined by MHC/peptide complex stability, there is a need to develop a simple strategy for enhancing the binding of suboptimal epitopes. Toward this goal, the ability to enhance suboptimal peptides through covalent linkage to beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) was explored. Two suboptimal variants of a high-affinity Db-restricted influenza nucleoprotein peptide were covalently linked, via a polypeptide spacer, to the amino terminus of human beta2m and the recombinant fusion proteins expressed in Escherichia coli. When compared with their uncoupled counterparts, the beta2m-linked epitopes display enhanced MHC stabilization and antigenicity. Thus, tethering epitopes to beta2m provides a simple method for augmenting the biological activity of suboptimal peptides and could be useful in the design of peptide-based vaccines or immunotherapeutics.
