CTL responses of HLA-A2.1-transgenic mice specific for hepatitis C viral peptides predict epitopes for CTL of humans carrying HLA-A2.1.
1 Mar 1995
Abstract excerpt
Vaccine development in animal models depends on ability to recognize epitopes seen by human T cells. In this work, we show that CTL responses in transgenic mice expressing human HLA-A2.1 prospectively predict the same four of 11 hepatitis C virus (HCV) structural protein-derived peptides, expressing a sequence motif for HLA-A2.1 binding, that are actually recognized by human A2.1-restricted CTLs. The CTLs also...
