Journal ArticleDOI

HBcAg-specific CD8 T cells play an important role in virus suppression, and acute flare-up is associated with the expansion of activated memory T cells.

TL;DR: HBV-specific CD8 T cells play an important role in the suppression of virus replication, and acute flare-up is associated with the expansion and activation of HBV- specific memory cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Commonly Recognized Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Nef Epitope Presented to Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes of Indian-Origin Rhesus Monkeys by the Prevalent Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Allele Mamu-A*02

TL;DR: Knowing of this SIV and SHIV Nef CTL epitope and MHC class I allele substantially increases the number of available rhesus monkeys that can be used for testing prototype HIV vaccines in this important animal model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Equivalency of B7-1 and B7-2 for Costimulating Plasmid DNA Vaccine-Elicited CTL Responses

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that either B7-1 or B8-2 administered concurrently with a plasmid DNA vaccine can fully costimulate vaccine-elicited CTL responses, which may not reflect inherent differences in the interactions of CD28 with these ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineered T-cell receptor tetramers bind MHC-peptide complexes with high affinity.

TL;DR: TCR tetramers should facilitate analysis of the MHC-peptide interface and, more generally, the design of immunotherapeutics and vaccines, and are identified in the absence of accessory molecules.
