The Structure of HLA-B8 Complexed to an Immunodominant Viral Determinant: Peptide-Induced Conformational Changes and a Mode of MHC Class I Dimerization
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
EBV is a ubiquitous human pathogen that chronically infects up to 90% of the population. Persistent viral infection is characterized by latency and periods of viral replication that are kept in check by a strong antiviral CTL response. Despite the size of the EBV genome, CTL immunity focuses on only a few viral determinants but expands a large primary and memory response toward these epitopes. In unrelated...
