The human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response to cytomegalovirus is dominated by structural protein pp65: frequency, specificity, and T-cell receptor usage of pp65-specific CTL
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) appear to play an important role in the control of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in the normal virus carrier: previous studies have identified peripheral blood CD8+ CTL specific for the HCMV major immediate-early gene product (IE1) and more recently, by bulk culture and cloning techniques, have identified CTL specific for a structural gene product, the lower matrix protein pp65.
