The major histocompatibility complex class I immunopeptidome of extracellular vesicles.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most cell types and have been associated with multiple immunomodulatory functions. MHC class I molecules have crucial roles in antigen presentation and in eliciting immune responses and are known to be incorporated into EVs. However, the MHC class I immunopeptidome of EVs has not been established. Here, using a small-scale immunoisolation of the antigen serotypes HLA-A*02:01 and HLA-B*27:05 expressed on the Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cell line Jesthom and MS of the eluted peptides from both cells and EVs, we identified 516 peptides that bind either HLA-A*02:01 or HLA-B*27:05. Of importance, the predicted serotype-binding affinities and peptide-anchor motifs did not significantly differ between the peptide pools isolated from cells or EVs,
