Abstract excerpt
Using a novel cell suspension model we investigated the relative abilities of nominal peptide and variants thereof to modulate de novo positive selection of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-specific TCR transgenic T cells. Confirming our earlier findings intermediate concentrations (10(-...
