Avidity determines T-cell reactivity in abacavir hypersensitivity

European Journal of Immunology

Abstract

The antiretroviral drug abacavir (abc) elicits severe drug hypersensitivity reactions in HLA-B*5701(+) individuals. To understand the abc-specific activation of CD8(+) T cells, we generated abc-specific T-cell clones (abc-TCCs). Abc reactivity could not be linked to the metabolism and/or processing of the drug, since abc metabolizing enzymes were not expressed in immune cells and inhibition of the proteasome in APCs did not affect TCC reactivity. Ca(2+) influx assays revealed different reactivity patterns of abc-TCCs. While all TCCs reacted to abc presented on HLA-B*5701 molecules, a minority also reacted immediately to abc in solution. Titration experiments showed that the ability to react immediately to abc correlated significantly with the TCR avidity of the T cells. Modifications of soluble abc concentrations revealed that the reactivity patterns of abc-TCCs were not fixed but dynamic. When TCCs with an intermediate TCR avidity were stimulated with increasing abc concentrations, they showed an accelerated activation kinetic. Thus, they reacted immediately to the drug, similar to the reaction of TCCs of high avidity. The observed immediate activation and the noninvolvement of the proteasome suggest that, in contrast to hapte...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
