Potent T cell response to a class I‐binding 13‐mer viral epitope and the influence of HLA micropolymorphism in controlling epitope length
27 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The BZLF1 antigen of Epstein-Barr virus includes three overlapping sequences of different lengths that conform to the binding motif of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B*3501. These 9-mer (56LPQGQLTAY64), 11-mer (54EPLPQGQLTAY64), and 13-mer (52LPEPLPQGQLTAY64) peptides all bound well to B*3501; however, the CTL response in individuals expressing this HLA allele was directed strongly and exclusively towards the...
