In this study, the fine specificity and MHC restriction of a CTL response specific to the trinitrophenyl (TNP) hapten was analyzed. Based on the structure of peptide/Kb complexes and ternary TCR/Ag/MHC complexes, four TNP peptides, two octamers, and two nonamers were chosen for eliciting anti-TNP CTL responses. Hapten was conjugated at position 4 in the octamers and at position 5 in the nonamers, positions which should allow engagement of the hapten by TCRs. Potent CTL activity for each of the TNP peptides was obtained that was highly hapten-specific; however, there were considerable differences in the extent of cross-reactivity with other TNP peptides, with the octamers generating more cross-reactive CTL than the nonamers. MHC restriction analysis suggested that anti-hapten responses were less dependent on MHC recognition than anti-peptide responses. This was evidenced by the relative ease of detecting cross-reactivity to haptenated peptides presented by allo-MHC and by the relative insensitivity of anti-hapten vs anti-peptide CTL to mutations in the Kb molecule at potential TCR interaction sites. One potential explanation for this insensitivity to MHC mutation was the finding that the anti-hapten response appeared to be of higher avidity, since a >100-fold difference in the amount of Ag required to sensitize target cells was found between these two types of Ags.
