Epitope-specific Evolution of Human CD8<b>+</b> T Cell Responses from Primary to Persistent Phases of Epstein-Barr Virus Infection
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Primary virus infection often elicits a large CD8(+) T cell response which subsequently contracts to a smaller memory T cell pool; the relationship between these two virus-specific populations is not well understood. Here we follow the human CD8(+) T cell response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from its primary phase in infectious mononucleosis (IM) through to the persistent carrier state. Using HLA-A2.1 or B8...
