Disease relevance of Mtv7

  • Mls-1-like superantigen in the MA/MyJ mouse is encoded by a new mammary tumor provirus that is distinct from Mtv-7 [1].
  • A 1.8-kb mRNA in C57L/J and MA/MyJ lymphomas hybridized with an Mtv29-specific oligonucleotide, whereas SW x J-1 lymphomas produced 1.8-kb transcripts hybridizing with an Mtv7-specific oligonucleotide [2].
  • The immunostimulatory potential of IDDM ORF was tested on murine T cell hybridomas and compared to the well-characterized mouse mammary tumor virus Mtv7 SAg transfected in the same conditions [3].
  • We describe here the production of a monoclonal antibody (mAb), 3B12, which is peptide specific and reacts with a recombinant baculovirus product of Mtv-7 sag [4].
  • The sequence of the Mtv-7 open reading frame differs from all other known mammary tumor virus open reading frame sequences in the 3' end, suggesting that the T-cell receptor V beta specificity is conferred by the C terminus of the molecule [5].
 

High impact information on Mtv7

  • Using a monoclonal antibody, we detect the Mtv-7 superantigen on the surface of activated B cells, but not on T cells or resting B cells [6].
  • The structures of the V beta 17 alleles differ by two amino acid substitutions, which lie together in an area distant from the predicted site of T cell receptor interaction with peptide-MHC complexes but overlapping with that implicated in V beta 8.2 recognition of Mls-1 superantigen [7].
  • It is also immunologically indistinguishable from the murine Ly-17 alloantigen which, in turn, is tightly linked to the Mls lymphocyte activation locus [8].
  • Strongly biased usage of V beta 6 by polyoma virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in C57BR/cdJ mice implicates T cells bearing this Mtv-7 SAG-reactive V beta domain as critical anti-polyoma tumor effector cells in vivo [9].
  • Cells expressing these mutated class II molecules efficiently presented two retroviral SAGs (Mtv-9 and Mtv-7) to T cells while they were unable to present the bacterial SAGs [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mtv7

  • The expression of V beta 20 was estimated by PCR in mice of different H-2 and Mls types [24].
  • This suggests that Pyvs might encode the Mtv-7 superantigen (SAG) and abrogate polyoma tumor immunosurveillance through elimination of T cells bearing specific V beta domains [9].
  • DNA typing of 110 backcross mice showed no evidence of recombination between Pyvs and Mtv-7 [9].
  • The primary mixed lymphocyte reaction of T cells to Mls-locus-disparate stimulator cells differs from that to non-self Ia antigens in several respects [25].
  • We examined the role of Mls antigens in the induction of autoimmune gastritis (AIG) in BALB/c and DBA/2 mice subjected to thymectomy [26].
