Recognition of Homo- and Heterosubtypic Variants of Influenza A Viruses by Human CD8+ T Lymphocytes
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
In the present study, the recognition of epitope variants of influenza A viruses by human CTL was investigated. To this end, human CD8(+) CTL clones, specific for natural variants of the HLA-B*3501-restricted epitope in the nucleoprotein (NP(418-426)), were generated. As determined in (51)Cr release assays and by flow cytometry with HLA-B*3501-peptide tetrameric complexes, CTL clones were found to be specific for...
