Abstract excerpt
CD8 T cells drive the protective immune response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection and are thus a determining force in the selection of viral variants. To examine how escape mutations affect the presentation and recognition of overlapping T-cell epitopes, we isolated an LCMV variant that is not recognized by T-cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic H-2Db-restricted LCMV GP33-41-specific cytotoxic T...
