Abstract excerpt
The glycoprotein B (gB) from herpes simplex virus type I is a major target of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in C57BL/6 mice. The majority of these T cells are directed to a single Kb-restricted determinant, gB498-505. We have analyzed the T-cell receptor (TCR) usage in gB-specific CTL lines derived shortly after virus infection. The CTL populations preferentially used two V beta regions, a dominant V beta 10...
