Diversity in the Acute CD8 T Cell Response to Vaccinia Virus in Humans
1 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Orthopoxviruses have complex proteomes. Infection provokes a brisk CD8 response, which is required in some systems for recovery from primary infection. Little is known concerning the Ags and epitopes recognized by CD8 T cells. We examined the fine specificity of cloned and bulk human vaccinia-specific CD8 CTL by expressing polypeptide fragments from a library of vaccinia genomic DNA. This epitope discovery method...
