T Cell Detection of a B-Cell Tropic Virus Infection: Newly-Synthesised versus Mature Viral Proteins as Antigen Sources for CD4 and CD8 Epitope Display

Viruses that naturally infect cells expressing both MHC I and MHC II molecules render themselves potentially visible to both CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells through the de novo expression of viral antigens. Here we use one such pathogen, the B-lymphotropic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), to examine the kinetics...
