Expression of Herpes Simplex Virus ICP47 and Human Cytomegalovirus US11 Prevents Recognition of Transgene Products by CD8 + Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
The in vivo persistence of gene-modified cells may be limited by the development of a host immune response to vector-encoded proteins. Herpesviruses evade cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) recognition by expressing genes which interfere selectively with presentation of viral antigens by class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Here, we studied the use of retroviral vectors encoding herpes simplex...
