Virus-infected cells can be eliminated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), which recognize virus-derived peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules on the cell surface. Until now, this notion has relied on overwhelming but indirect evidence, as the existence of naturall

## Induction of primary anti-viral cytotoxic T cells by in vitro stimulation with short synthetic peptide and int erleukin-7 The present study investigated whether a short synthetic peptide NPP, with a modified sequence (147-158 R156-) derived from influenza A virus nucleoprotein with high affinit
We have established a sensitive ELISPOT assay measuring interferon g (IFN g) release on a single-cell basis to detect influenza peptide-specific CD8 1 T cells in uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Using this method, we studied the T cell response to HLA-A1 and HLA-A2.1 binding pep
