Classically Restricted Human CD8+ T Lymphocytes Derived from Mycobacterium tuberculosis -Infected Cells: Definition of Antigenic Specificity
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies in murine and human models have suggested an important role for HLA Ia-restricted CD8(+) T cells in host defense to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Therefore, understanding the Ags presented via HLA-Ia will be important in understanding the host response to Mtb and in rational vaccine design. We have used monocyte-derived dendritic cells in a limiting dilution analysis to generate Mtb-specific...
