Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a major cause of morbidity in childhood worldwide. The first human RSV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope to be defined is described. This HLA B7-restricted epitope in nucleoprotein (NP) was detectable in four healthy, B7-positive adult subjects using B7-RSV-NP tetrameric complexes to stain CD8(+) T cells.
呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)感染是全球儿童发病的主要原因。本文描述了首个被确定的人类RSV特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞表位。利用B7-RSV-NP四聚体复合物对CD8(+) T细胞进行染色,在4名健康的、B7阳性的成年受试者中检测到核蛋白(NP)中这个受HLA B7限制的表位。
