## Abstract To design a safe and effective synthetic peptide vaccine against rubell virus (RV) infection, it is necessary to identify immunodominant Tโcell epitopes of RV structural proteins. To define such epitopes, 49 overlapping synthetic peptides (17โ34 residues in length) corresponding to more
The epitope specificities of myelin basic protein (BP) specific T cell lines derived from the spinal cords (SC) and lymph nodes (LN) of rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) were compared. To induce EAE, Lewis rats were immunized with guinea pig (GP)-BP and complete Freund's adju
