Article Title: | Cross-recognition of N-formylmethionine peptides is a general characteristic of H2-M3-restricted CD8+ T cells |
Abstract: | H2-M3-restricted CD8+ T cells can exhibit cross-reactivity to different bacterially derived N-formylmethionine peptides. The extent of this promiscuity is unclear. We deleted the nonredundant fMIVTLF epitope and found that Listeria monocytogenes still primed fMIVTLF-specific T cells. Thus, cross-reactivity appears to be a more general characteristic of H2-M3-restricted T cells. Copyright © 2005, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved. |
