Abstract excerpt
Although a high level of promiscuity for heterologous epitopes is believed to exist for cellular immunity, limited data explore this issue for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific CD8+ T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. Here, we found an unexpected degree of heterologous cross-reactivity against HIV-1 epitopes, in addition to the targeted index epitope. Most CTL clones screened cross-reacted against...
