Critical role for activation of antigen-presenting cells in priming of cytotoxic T cell responses after vaccination with virus-like particles.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are known to induce strong Ab responses in the absence of adjuvants. In addition, VLPs are able to prime CTL responses in vivo. To study the efficiency of this latter process, we fused peptide p33 derived from lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus to the hepatitis B core Ag,...
