Although neutralizing antibodies against Hantaan virus (HTV) can protect hosts from viral infection, T-cell responses to HTV are also important in host defense against HTV. However, much less is known about cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses to HTV. To identify CTL epitopes in the HTV nucleocaps

Experiments were designed in an attempt to identify T-and B-cell epitopes expressed on the 17-kDa early-antigen-restricted (EA-R) polypeptide of the EBV-induced early antigen complex. Using Berzofsky's algorithm, 3 hypothetical T-cell epitopes on p I 7 were synthesized and employed in EBV-specific l
The strength of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response is believed to influence the final outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Among the different CTL epitopes so far identified, the sequence 18-27 of the HBV nucleocapsid antigen is widely recognized by CTL of HLA-A2-positive patients wi
## Abstract The virologic determinants of progressive liver disease associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) remain unclear. Previous investigations have associated HBV disease with specific mutations but this association may be confounded by HBV genotype, HLA haplotype of the infected individual or
## Abstract DNA plasmids are potent inducers of longβlasting antigenβspecific CTL responses. Little is known about the distribution of antigenβspecific CD8^+^ T cells in the lymphoid tissue and the nonβlymphoid tissue after DNA immunization. HBsAgβspecific CD8^+^ T cells in peripheral blood mononuc
