The invention belongs to the field of biological medicines, and particularly relates to a method for screening CTL (cytotoxic
T lymphocyte) epitopes by an independently constructed SLA-2-HB01-pCDH / sT2
cell line. According to the invention, an exogenous SLA-2-HB01
gene is transfected to an sT2
cell, and a stable SLA-2
gene expression model is established. The method comprises the following steps: loading EB155 and other positive
epitope peptides on the surfaces of cells, detecting an SLA-2-
peptide-beta2m complex expressed on the surfaces of the cells through FACs, and judging that the SLA-2-HB01-pCDH / sT2 has the function of presenting exogenous polypeptide epitopes. In order to promote the formation of
cell surface complexes, the addition of the beta2m is beneficial to the improvement of the presentation efficiency of the
antigen polypeptide. In the result of the invention, As63, EB155 and Hu62 peptides can be presented by an SLA-2-HB01-pCDH / sT2 cell line, As63 is presented in the SLA-2-HB01-pCDH / sT2, SLA-2-HB01-Flag-pCDH / sT2 and SLA-2-HB01-3 * Flag-pCDH / in the sT2 cell line, and the presentation efficiency is basically consistent, which indicates that a series of sT2 for expressing the SLA-2-HB01
gene constructed by the invention has the function of presenting the
antigen, and the SLA-2-HB01-3 * Flag-pCDH / sT2 can be used for expressing the SLA-2-HB01 gene. Therefore, the SLA-2
heavy chain molecule can be used for screening polypeptide epitopes of the swine viruses on the
cellular level, and it is further proved that the
antigen presentation function of a cell line is not affected when a
Flag tag is added to the C-terminal of the SLA-2
heavy chain molecule.
