Differential Immunogenicity of Epstein-Barr Virus Latent-Cycle Proteins for Human CD4+T-Helper 1 Responses
15 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human CD4(+) T-helper 1 cell responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection are likely to be important in the maintenance of virus-specific CD8(+) memory and/or as antiviral effectors in their own right. The present work has used overlapping peptides as stimulators of gamma interferon release (i) to identify CD4(+) epitopes within four EBV latent-cycle proteins, i.e., the nuclear antigens EBNA1 and EBNA3C and...
