HLA-loss variants of an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-lymphoblastoid cell line (EBV-LCL) 721 were used as target cells to identify HLA molecules utilized by EBV-LCL-specific cytotoxic T cells. Split culture analysis of cytotoxic T cells plated at limiting dilution showed killing of HLA-loss variants bearing either HLA-A2 or -B5 molecules, with 10 times higher frequency of cytotoxic T cells restricted by the HLA-B5 molecule. Clonal analysis confirmed the restriction by HLA-A2 or -B5 of some cytotoxic T-cell clones and identified cytotoxic T-cell clones cytolytic for target cells which do not express HLA-A or -B but do express the HLA-C determinant. Thus, our results show immunodominance of the HLA-B5 restriction determinant for EBV-induced antigens in the donor of the HLA-loss variants and provide evidence that the HLA-Cmolecule can also serve as restriction determinant for EBV-LCL-specific cytotoxic T cells.
