Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Virology
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Monkeypox virus (MPXV) poses a significant public health threat.
  • Understanding T cell responses is crucial for developing effective vaccines against poxviruses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize T cell epitopes in MPXV-infected rhesus macaques.
  • To identify potential targets for poxvirus-specific T cell vaccines.

Main Methods:

  • IFNγ Elispot assay was used to screen 400 predicted peptides from 20 MPXV proteins.
  • In vitro MHC binding analyses were performed to predict epitope restriction.

Main Results:

  • Two peptides from the F8L protein elicited CD8+ T cell responses in macaques.
  • One epitope is restricted by Mamu-A1*001 and the other by Mamu-A1*002.
  • The Mamu-A1*002 epitope is conserved across multiple poxviruses, including variola, vaccinia, cowpox, and MPXV.

Conclusions:

  • The F8L protein, an analog of vaccinia's E9L, may be a dominant poxviral protein for CD8+ T cell responses.
  • F8L/E9L represents a potential target for designing vaccines aimed at eliciting pox-specific T cell immunity.
