"Transgenic (Tg) mice expressing HLA class I alleles and lacking murine MHC class I represent a useful model for the pre-clinical evaluation of human vaccines, which focus on induction of CD8(+) T-cell responses. We have developed a platform to be used in Tg mice for exploring the immunogenicity of T-cell targets, whose immunologic epitopes have yet to be defined," researchers in the United States report.
"To test the attributes of the evaluation system in the context of an important human pathogen, we have...
