p53 is an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy since it is overexpressed in half of all tumors. However, it is also expressed in normal lymphoid tissue, and self tolerance leaves a p53-specific repertoire purged of high avidity CTL. To better understand the mechanism of tolerance and the basis for such low avidity interaction, p53-specific CTL from p53 deficient (p53-) and sufficient (p53+) A2.1/Kb transgenic mice were compared with respect to their ability to bind HLA-A2.1 tetramers containing cognate murine p53 peptide Ag, p53 261269. Since the murine CD8 molecule cannot interact with human HLA-A2.1, this tests the ability of the TCR to bind the A2.1/peptide complex tetramer. CTL from p53- mice demonstrated strong binding of such A2.1/p53 261269 tetramers; however, the CTL from tolerant p53+ mice were devoid of tetramer-binding CD8+ T cells. Examination of TCR expression at the clonal level revealed that CTL from p53+ and p53- mice each expressed comparable levels of the p53-specific TCR. These results indicate that normal expression of p53 promotes elimination of T cells expressing TCRs with sufficient affinity to achieve stable binding of the A2.1/p53 261269 tetramers.
