Abstract excerpt
By using a series of overlapping synthetic peptides that cover more than 75% of the amino acid sequence of the major surface glycoprotein (gp63) from Leishmania major, 11 T-cell epitopes in CBA and BALB/c mice have been identified. Six of the peptides were recognized by T cells of CBA mice recovered from L. major infection, while one was recognized by the T cells from BALB/c mice recovered from the infection...
