Abstract excerpt
Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) inhibits antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) priming in vivo (Campbell et al., 1989). To address the mechanism of this immune suppression, two possibilities were considered: (1) MCMV directly interferes with in vivo priming of CTL precursors (CTLp), or (2)...
