Two Antigenic Peptides from Genes <i>m123</i> and <i>m164</i> of Murine Cytomegalovirus Quantitatively Dominate CD8 T-Cell Memory in the <i>H-2</i> ^<i>d</i> Haplotype

Abstract excerpt

The importance of CD8 T cells for the control of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has raised interest in the identification of immunogenic viral proteins as candidates for vaccination and cytoimmunotherapy. The final aim is to determine the viral "immunome" for any major histocompatibility complex class I molecule by antigenicity screening of proteome-derived peptides. For human CMV, there is a limitation to this...
