What do we (think we) understand
• Class I pathway• Proteasomal cleavage• TAP transport• Binding to MHC• Supertype clustering and epitope selection
![Page 3: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

• Class I pathway• Proteasomal cleavage• TAP transport• Binding to MHC• Supertype clustering and epitope selection
• Exceptions• K epitopes• Alternative translocation to ER• Alternative epitope splicing• Supertypes do not binding identical set of peptides• Some alleles can not be supertype clustered
What do we NOT understand
We don’t under

anything

P9K ligands
• P9 of MHC ligands is generated by the proteasome!!• Frequency of amino acids at P9 in MHC ligands should reflect preference for proteasomal cleavage•This is not the case for all amino acids
![Page 6: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

P9K ligands
• P9 of MHC ligands is generated by the proteasome!!• Frequency of amino acids at P9 should reflect preference for proteasomal cleavage•This is not the case for all amino acids• Suggests a protease other than the proteasome is likely involved in the generation of the C-termini of P9K ligands.

Presentation of Noncontiguous peptides
• The conventional approach to epitope discovery is to use overlapping peptides
• What if splicing of noncontiguous peptides occure?

Supertypes. What are they good for?
• Alleles within supertypes present the same set of peptides!
![Page 23: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Supertypes. What are they good for?
• Alleles with in supertypes present the same set of peptides!• Is this really so?• Less that 50% of A6802 binders will bind to A0201!
• Less than 33% of A0201 binders will bind to A6802!
![Page 25: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Supertypes are good for getting funding, but..
• Need to define more refined method for identifying promiscuous epitopes• Need to develop method to predict binding across all HLA alleles
• Supertypes is too simple a picture
![Page 27: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What more do we (think we) understand• Why are epitopes 9 amino acids long?
• Why did nature not choose 15mers?
• Which class I presented peptides can bind TCR?
• Or can we estimate TCR cross reactivity?
![Page 28: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why 9mers?
• Why did the immune system settle on presentation of 9mer peptides?
• The proteasome generates mostly fragments of 4-7 amino acids
• TAP preference peptides of 8-18 amino acids
• MHC preference peptides of 8-12 amino acids
• So why 9?
![Page 29: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Information processing in the immune system
• How many different self peptides do we have? • How much information is present in a 9-mer? • Can you discriminate self from non-self based on the information in 9-mers?
Burroughs, De Boer & Kesmir, Immunogenetics, 2004, 56(5):311-20
![Page 30: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Size of self
107 << 209 : self is a small fraction of peptide space: Overlap with other “selfs” expected to be small.

Discriminating self
9-mers provide enough information to discriminate: Average overlap human and pathogens <1% (Overlap between unrelated bacteria also 1%)
![Page 33: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Overlap with human depend on evolutionary distance
![Page 34: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Conclusions
• Information in 9-mers sufficient to discriminate self from non-self • The chance that an immunodominant pathogenic peptide resembles self < 0.5%
![Page 35: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
TCR self-tolerance
• What determines if a MHC ligand can elicit an immune responds?• Similarity to self peptide• What is similar?• What amino acids determine similarity?
• How broad is the cross reactivity?

Predict TRC cross reactivity
• TCR cross-reactivity can (partly) be characterized from a specificity profile, and amino acid conservation.
• Use cross reactivity model to predict cross reactivity
• Explain lacking immunogenecity of predicted CTL epitopes
• Overlap between cross reactivity space and host genome
![Page 43: Understanding the immune system A Challenge or impossible dream.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d835503460f94a68df8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Conclusions
• We might thinks we understand parts of the immune system, but nothing is ever always as we would like
