Abstract excerpt
H2-deleted, HLA-A2, or HLA-B7 transgenic mice were used to identify new human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-derived major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted epitopes. Three different approaches for mice immunization were compared for their ability to induce a cytotoxic CD8(+) T cell (CTL) response: (1). inoculation of infectious HCMV, (2). injection of immunogenic synthetic peptides, and (3). infection with a...
