A peptide encoded by the adenovirus type 5 early region I (Ad5 EI) is the target structure for H-2Db-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) that are capable of tumour eradication in vivo. With the use of a set of peptides in which each individual amino acid (aa) was deleted out of the sequence, we
## Abstract The major histocompatibility complex class Iβrestricted CD8^+^ cytotoxic Tβlymphocyte (CTL) effector arm of the adaptive immune response can specifically recognize and destroy tumor cells expressing peptide antigens. Although adoptive Tβcell therapy has been successfully used for the tr
