H2-D b restricted epitopes VSV Nucleoprotein (52-59)

H2-D b restricted epitopesVSVNucleoprotein (52-59) is a nonapeptide derived from the nucleoprotein of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) . It binds to MHC class I molecules to present itself to CD8+ T cells, thereby activating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that recognize and destroy cells expressing the corresponding antigen. This epitope is instrumental in the development of CTL vaccines against the Ebola virus.
