Generation of Th1 T cell responses directed to a HLA Class II restricted epitope from the<i>Aspergillus</i>f16 allergen

Abstract excerpt

The Aspergillus allergen Asp f16 has been shown to confer protective Th1 T cell-mediated immunity against infection with Aspergillus conidia in murine models. Here, we use overlapping (11-aa overlap with preceding peptide) pentadecapeptides spanning the entire 427-aa coding region of Asp f16 presented on autologous dendritic cells (DC) to evaluate the ability of this antigen to induce Th1 responses in humans....
