By stimulating blood lymphocytes with autologous bladder carcinoma cells that had been transfected with B7-1, we obtained a panel of CTL clones which lyse specifically the bladder tumor cells in an MHC class I-restricted fashion. Based on inhibition with anti-HLA Abs and the recognition of allogeneic tumor cells, we could distribute our clones in three groups that recognized three distinct Ags. We characterized one of these Ags by screening a cDNA library prepared with the RNA from this bladder tumor line. This new tumor Ag is a peptide presented by HLA-B4403 molecules. It is produced by a point mutation in a gene that is recorded in databases under the name KIAA0205, is ubiquitously expressed, and whose function is unknown. We also found this mutation in the tumor sample that was originally resected from this patient, but the mutation was not found in the 100 or more independent tumors of various histologic types that were tested. This report is the first to describe the isolation of CTL clones directed against human bladder cancer and the molecular characterization of a bladder tumor Ag.
