CD8<sup>+</sup> cytolytic T cell clones derived against the <i>Plasmodium yoelii</i> circumsporozoite protein protect against malaria
1 Jan 1991
Abstract excerpt
Immunization of BALB/c mice with radiation-attenuated Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites induces cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for an epitope located within the amino acid sequence 277-288 of the P. yoelii circumsporozoite (CS) protein. Several CD8+ CTL clones were derived from the spleen cells of sporozoite-immunized mice, all displaying an apparently identical epitope specificity. All the clones induced...
