Abstract excerpt
T cells play an important role in the control of human CMV (HCMV) infection. Peripheral blood CD4+ T cell proliferative responses to the HCMV lower tegument protein pp65 have been detected in most healthy HCMV carriers. To analyze the clonal composition of the CD4+ T cell response against HCMV pp65, we characterized three MHC class II-restricted peptide epitopes within pp65 in virus carriers. In limiting dilution...
