The pan-NK cell marker NK1.1, present in some mouse strains, is also found on a subset of TCRalphabeta+ lymphocytes termed NKT cells. These cells are primarily CD4+ or CD4-CD8- (double negative, DN), and both NKT subpopulations contain cells reactive with the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. Murine N
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic infection accompanied by a high risk of liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. CD8؉ T cell responses are important in the control of viremia. However, the T cell response in chronic infection is weak both in absolute numbers and in the range of epitopes ta
## Abstract In this study, a combination of epitope‐prediction programs and in vitro assays was used to identify dengue virus (DENV)‐specific CD8^+^ T cell epitopes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients who recovered from dengue fever were stimulated with candidate epit
