Abstract excerpt
Following infection of the H-2d mouse by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, the newly generated cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response is focused to a single 9-amino-acid peptide sequence (epitope) of the virus. More than 96% of the primary, secondary, and clonal CTL respond to this lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus nucleoprotein epitope. This unique system affords the opportunity to evaluate the T-cell response...
