Giasson1,2,3,4* Abstract Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, defined by the presence of brain pathological inclusions comprised of abnormally aggregated and highly phosphorylated tau protein. The abundance of brain tau aggregates correlates with disease severity and select phospho-tau epitopes increase at early stages of disease. We generated and characterized a series of novel monoclonal antibodies directed to tau phosphorylated at several of these phospho-epitopes, including Ser396/Ser404, Ser404 and Thr205. We also generated phosphorylation independent antibodies against amino acid residues 193–211. We show that most of these antibodies are highly specific for tau and strongly recognize pathological inclusions in human brains and in a transgenic mouse model of tauopathy. They also reveal epitope-specific differences in the biochemical properties of Alzheimer’s disease sarkosyl-insoluble tau. These new reagents will be useful for investigating the progression of tau pathology and further as tools to target the cellular transmission of tau pathology.

Abstract Alterations to metabolic pathways, in particular post-translational modification, are a recognised hallmark of diseases such as autoimmunity, inflammation and cancer, and potentially provide a source of altered self antigens that can stimulate immune responses. Most notably, phosphorylated peptides have emerged as a group of tumour associated antigens which can be presented by MHC molecules and recognised by T-cells, and therefore represent promising candidates for future cancer immunotherapy strategies. However, how antigen phosphorylation impacts upon antigen presentation and recognition remains unclear. During this study I demonstrated that the phosphate moiety of phosphopeptides bearing the canonical P4 phosphorylation

  • Mass Spectrometry–Based Identification of MHC-Bound
    PROTOCOL https://doi.org/10.1038/s41596-019-0133-y Mass spectrometry–based identification of MHC-bound peptides for immunopeptidomics Anthony W. Purcell 1*, Sri H. Ramarathinam 1 and Nicola Ternette2* Peptide antigens bound to molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and presented on the cell surface form the targets of T lymphocytes. This critical arm of the adaptive immune system facilitates the eradication of pathogen-infected and cancerous cells, as well as the production of antibodies. Methods to identify these peptide antigens are critical to the development of new vaccines, for which the goal is the generation of effective adaptive immune responses and long-lasting immune memory. Here, we describe a robust protocol for the identification of MHC-bound peptides from cell lines and tissues, using nano-ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (nUPLC–MS/MS) and recent improvements in methods for isolation and characterization of these peptides. The protocol starts with the immunoaffinity capture of naturally processed MHC-peptide complexes. The peptides dissociate from the class I human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) upon acid denaturation. This peptide cargo is then extracted and separated into fractions by HPLC, and the peptides in these fractions are identified using nUPLC–MS/MS. With this protocol, several thousand peptides can be identified from a wide variety of cell types, including cancerous and infected cells and those from tissues, with a turnaround time of 2–3d. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction The recognition of foreign antigens by T lymphocytes is the cornerstone of adaptive immunity. Specifically, intracellular antigens are degraded in the cytosol and antigenic precursor peptides are transported to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are further trimmed to short peptides (8–11 amino acids (aa)) that can assemble with class I HLAs.

MHC molecules are cell surface protein complexes loaded with short peptides and recognized by the T-cell receptors (TCR). Peptides associated with MHC are named immunopeptidome. The MHC I immunopeptidome is produced by the proteasome degradation of intracellular proteins. The knowledge of the immunopeptidome repertoire facilitates the creation of personalized antitumor or antiviral vaccines. A huge number of publications on the immunopeptidome diversity of different human and mouse biological samples—plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and solid tissues, including tumors—appeared in the scientific journals in the last decade.

In NOD mice, genetically controlled perturbations in the signaling pathways downstream of the antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR) may be instrumental in the altered responses of T cells, manifest as inefficient induction of apoptosis after recognition of self-antigens in the thymus or as perturbed reactivity of mature T cells in peripheral organs. To map this signaling difference(s), we have used mass spectrometry-based quantitative phosphoproteomics to compare the activation of primary CD4+ T cells of diabetes-prone NOD and -resistant B6.H2g7 mice. Immunoprecipitation and IMAC purification of tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides, combined with a stable-isotope iTRAQ labeling, enabled us to identify and quantify over 77 phosphorylation events in 54 different proteins downstream of TCR stimulation of primary CD4+ T cells. This analysis showed a generally higher level of phosphotyrosine in activated NOD cells, as well as several phosphorylation sites that appeared to be differentially regulated in these two strains (involving TXK, CD5, PAG1, and ZAP-70). These data highlight the differences in signaling between CD4+ T cell compartments of NOD and B6g7 mice and may underlie the dysregulation of T cells in NOD mice.
