Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules sample peptides from the intracellular environment and present them to cytotoxic T cells (CTL). To establish a selection system, and, thereby, enable a library approach to identify the specificities involved (that of the MHC-I for peptides a

A novel approach to screening phage-displayed peptide libraries has been used to identify hepatitis C virus (HCV) core, NS4 and NS5 sequences, which are antigenic in humans. Two random peptide libraries were used for screening using a mixture of HCV-positive sera or individual antibodies to core, NS
Molecules encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are polymorphic integral membrane proteins adapted to the presentation of peptide fragments of foreign antigens to antigen-specific T-cells. The diversity of infectious agents to which an immune response must be mounted poses a unique p
