Abstract excerpt
C57BL/6 mice characteristically generate vigorous H-2K(b)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) directed against an immunodominant CTL epitope (KSPWFTTL) expressed by endogenous AKR/Gross murine leukemia viruses (MuLV). These AKR/Gross MuLV-specific CTL do not efficiently recognize tumor cells induced by Friend/Moloney/Rauscher (FMR) MuLV, which express the highly homologous peptide RSPWFTTL. In this report,...
