Abstract excerpt
The property of listeriolysin (LLO) to introduce soluble passenger proteins into the cytosol of antigen-presenting cells allows the induction of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells against such antigens. To overcome the potential problem of presentation of the immunodominant epitope LL091-99 by H-2Kd, a varia...
