Abstract

The patterns of CD8 T-cell epitopes recognized within the E6 protein in women who had cleared their human papillomavirus 16 infection were examined. T-cell lines were established using autologous dendritic cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus. Evidence of potential antigenic epitopes was shown in 8 of 23 (34.8%) women.

Highlights

  • The patterns of CD8 T-cell epitopes recognized within the E6 protein in women who had cleared their human papillomavirus 16 infection were examined

  • T-cell lines were established using autologous dendritic cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus

  • In a previously published study (6), we examined the role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in clearing human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 infection in women without evidence of precancer or squamous intraepithelial lesion

Introduction

The patterns of CD8 T-cell epitopes recognized within the E6 protein in women who had cleared their human papillomavirus 16 infection were examined.

In a previously published study (6), we examined the role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in clearing HPV 16 infection in women without evidence of precancer or squamous intraepithelial lesion.
