HLA-A*01-restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope from the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein.

Abstract excerpt

Here, we report the identification of a novel CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope on the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (3D7; amino acids 310 to 319 [EPSDKHIKEY]) that is restricted by HLA-A*01 and is recognized by human volunteers immunized with irradiated P. falciparum sporozoites. HLA-A*01 is the second most common HLA allele among Caucasians.
