AbstractNasopharyngeal carcinoma is a neoplasm with a high incidence in Southeast Asia, and it is strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activation involving the expression of a weakly immunogenic protein, namely, latent membrane protein (LMP)-2. Previous immunological studies already identified the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-All restricted peptide epitope (SSCSSCPLSK) in the LMP-2 antigen. In this work, we prepared gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-peptide conjugate 1 by treating the nanoparticles with the Af-cysteinated LMP-2 epitope. The AuNP-peptide conjugates have been characterized by TEM (15-24 nm in diameter) and UV-vis spectroscopy (surface plasmon resonance absorption band at λmax = 520 nm). In the presence of a CALNN capping peptide, the AuNP-peptide conjugates are stable in solution without aggregation at room temperature for at least 48 h. By ELIspot studies, AuNP-peptide conjugate 1 was found to elicit a significantly stronger INF-γ response [number of spot forming cells (SPC) = 727 ± 198] from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy HLA-A11 donors when compared to that induced by the unconjugated LMP-2 peptides (SFC = 73 ± 28). Further studies showed that dendritic cells treated with conjugate 1 can effect CD8+ T-cell activation leading to epitope-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte killing responses in vitro. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
