Chaperone molecules, including members of the heat shock protein family, are able to stimulate αβ and γδ T cells as well as natural killer cells. For αβ T cells, specificity is induced by chaperone-assisted peptides; this has lead to detailed investigations of peptides that bind to these chaperones

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are major effector cells in responses to viral infections and in allograft rejection and are implicated in many other immunological reactions. Efficient induction of cytotoxic activity in these cells in many but not all cases depends upon helper Tand antigen-presenting cells
## Abstract The magnitude of CTL‐mediated immunity response is highly dependent on the density of antigenic peptide–MHC I complexes at the cell surface. In this study, we adopt a novel strategy to promote the surface level of specific peptide–MHC I complexes. The strategy combines the inhibition of
To analyze the critical parameters for effective antiviral cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity in vivo, control of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection in the spleen was studied after adoptive transfer of different spleen cell populations into preinfected recipients. The quantitativ
