We performed T cell cloning experiments with a tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte subpopulation derived from a renal cell carcinoma tumor site (RCC-7) in which the TCR clonotypic repertoire had been analyzed in terms of TCRBV complementarity-determining region 3 size distribution. We report in this work the characterization of one of the five RCC-specific MHC class I-restricted CTL clones isolated in RCC-7. This TCRBV6J1S1 CTL recognized only the autologous RCC-7 tumor cell line in the context of HLA-A*0201, and the Ag is encoded by a mutated form of the hsp70-2 gene found in the tumor cells, but not in autologous PBLs nor in 47 other tumors. The identification of this gene was achieved by cotransfecting into COS cells a cDNA library of RCC-7 together with HLA-A*0201. Transfectants expressing the Ag were identified by their ability to stimulate TNF release by the CTL clone. The antigenic peptide is a decamer with a mutated residue at position 8. Half-maximal lysis was obtained with only 5 x 10-11 M of decapeptide in target sensitization assays compared with 5 x 10-8 M for the wild-type decapeptide. This difference in recognition was not related to difference in binding HLA-A*0201-presenting molecules, as assessed in an immunofluorescence-based peptide-binding assay using T2 cells. Constitutive hsp70 expression in various tumors suggests that this stress-induced protein may be recognized in situ by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. The finding in the tumor of a mutated form of the stress-induced hsp70-2 gene whose product is specifically recognized by TILs with high avidity is discussed in view of the present use of mycobacteria or heterologous heat-shock proteins as immunomodulators or as subunit vaccine candidates.
