Abstract excerpt
The nonstructural protein NS1 of influenza A/PR/8/34 virus has previously been reported to be recognized by murine Kk-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), although the sequence of the epitope was not defined. A Kk-specific motif has previously been published and consists of a glutamic acid or (less frequently) an aspartic acid at position 2 and an isoleucine at the carboxyl terminus of a peptide eight or...
