Abstract excerpt
Primary immunization of healthy adults with vaccinia virus induces a local vesicle or "take" in the majority of vaccinees that previously has been shown to correlate with protection against smallpox. However, the immunologic mechanisms underlying this protective response in humans are not well characterized. We have studied human CD8+ T cells for the expression patterns of phenotypic markers and cytolytic...
