Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are important for the recognition and lysis of virally infected cells, but their effectiveness can be limited by viral immune evasion mechanisms. We investigated the immunophenotype and function of human CD8+ T cells raised in response to herpes simplex virus (HSV). The expanded population contained cells of an activated and mature phenotype, as determined by the expressions of CD25,...
