Περιγραφή
Synthetic carriers play an important role in immunogen presentation, due to their ability of inducing improved and specific responses to conjugated epitopes. Their influence on the bio- active conformation of the epitope though admittedly crucial for the relevant in vitro and in vivo applications. is difficult to evaluate, given the usual lack of information on the complex conformational features determined by the nature of the carrier and the mode of ligation. Using the Herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D-1 epitope (Leu(9)-Lys-Nle-Ala-A.vp-Pi-o-Asn-Ai-g-Phe-Ai-,g-Gly-Lys-Asp-Lea(22) ) as a model, we have performed a detailed conformational analysis on the free epitope peptide in solution and on three constructs in which the epitope was conjugated to sequential oligopeptide carriers [Ac-[Lys-Aib-GlY](4)-OH (SOC(4))} (through either a thioether or an anfide bond; Ac: acetyl) and polytuftsin oligomers [H-[Thr-Lys-Pro-Lys-GlY](4)-NH(2) (T20)}, (through a thioether bond). The analysis qf the epitope conformation in the parent protein, in carrier-conjugated and free form, suggests that the beta-turn structure of the -Asp(13)-Pro-Asn-Arg(16) segment is highly conserved and independent of the epitope form. However, small conformational variations were observed at the C-terminal part of the epitope, depending on the nature of the carrier. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals.
