Popis: The HLA-A*68:01 allele has been associated with severe influenza disease during the 2009 influenza pandemic. Here, the authors analyze influenza nucleoprotein specific HLA-A*68:01-restricted CD8+ T cells from human donors and show immunodominance of these cells in approximately 35% of HLA-A*68:01-expressing donors.
