Functional management of an antiviral cytotoxic T-cell response.

Abstract excerpt

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is known to induce strong, polyclonal cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses. Using a set of variant peptides derived from the major CTL epitope of LCMV, we analyzed the functional fine specificity of the LCMV-specific CTL response. During the primary response, almost all the tested peptides were recognized. In contrast, the secondary response was purged of all minor...
