Abstract excerpt
The ability of several listeriolysin O-negative mutants of the EGD and NCTC 7973 strains of Listeria monocytogenes to activate specific T cell responses in vitro and in vivo was determined. T cell lines from different inbred mouse strains and derived T cell clones elicited by L. monocytogenes, st...
