Cytotoxic T cells recognize a peptide from the circumsporozoite protein on malaria-infected hepatocytes

Irradiated malaria sporozoites can induce CD8+ T cells that are required for protection against infection. However, the parasite antigens targeted by this immune response are unknown. We have discovered a 16-amino acid epitope from the Plasmodium yoelii circumsporozoite (CS) protein that is recogniz...
