ABSTRACT The cellular immunity against Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is poorly characterized and has not been compared to T-cell responses against other human herpesviruses. Here, novel and dominant targets of KSHV-specific cellular immunity are identified and compared to T cells specific for lytic and latent antigens in a second human gammaherpesvirus, Epstein-Barr virus. The data identify a novel HLA-B57- and HLA-B58-restricted epitope in the Orf57 protein and show consistently close parallels in immune phenotypes and functional response patterns between cells targeting lytic or latent KSHV- and EBV-encoded antigens, suggesting common mechanisms in the induction of these responses.

AbstractIn Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), the malignant Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells interact with the host microenvironment to create an immunosuppressive network that protects the lymphoma from immune attack. These mechanisms are not fully understood. We examined the role of the immunomodulatory protein galectin-1 (Gal-1) on Epstein-Barr virus-specific CD8+ T cell responses in HL. Initial studies indicated Gal-1 expression in all in vitro established Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cell lines. In situ analysis revealed Gal-1 expression in 26 of 42 classic HL, whereas Gal-1 was uniformly negative in nodular lymphocyte predominant HL. Gal-1hi expression was associated with male gender, older patients, reduced CD8+ T cell infiltration at the tumor site, and most importantly, an impaired latent membrane protein 1 and 2-specific CD8+ T-cell responses. In vitro exposure to recombinant Gal-1 inhibited proliferation and interferon-γ expression by Epstein-Barr virus-specific T cells. These observations provide an important link between the Gal-1-mediated immunomodulatory networks and loss of antigen-specific T-cell function in classic HL.
