Infection provokes a brisk CD8 response, which is required in some systems for recovery from primary infection. Little is known concerning the antigens and epitopes recognized by CD8 T cells. We examined the fine specificity of cloned and bulk human vaccinia-specific CD8 CTL by expressing polypeptide fragments from a library of vaccinia genomic DNA."
"This epitope discovery method emphasizes virus-specific biological activity, as...
