Graft rejection or graft-versus-host (GVH) disease after
HLA-identical stem cell transplantation is the result of recognition of
minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags) by immunocompetent T
lymphocytes from recipient or donor origin, respectively. Cytolytic T
lymphocyte (CTL) clones can be isolated during graft rejection and GVH
disease to identify mHags and their corresponding genes. Thus far, all
human mHags identified appeared to be HLA class I-restricted. Here, we
report the characterization of the first human HLA class II-restricted
sex-linked mHag involved in GVH disease. Previously, we isolated an
HLA-DQ5-restricted CD4+ CTL clone from a male patient with
chronic myeloid leukemia who developed acute GVH disease grade III-IV
after transplantation of HLA genotypically identical female stem cells.
Using a panel of female HLA-DQ5+ EBV cells that we stably
transfected with Y chromosome-specific genes, we determined that the
HLA class II male-specific mHag (H-Y) was encoded by the Y
chromosome-specific gene DBY. The H-Y epitope was
localized in the DBY protein using female HLA-DQ5+
peripheral blood mononuclear cells loaded with DBY protein fragments. The minimal peptide sequence leading to maximal recognition by the
specific HLA-DQ5-restricted CTL clone was characterized as the
12-amino acid sequence HIENFSDIDMGE. Although the epitope differed by
3 amino acids from its X-homolog DBX, only 2 polymorphisms were shown
to be essential for recognition by the CTL clone.
