Recognition of the epitopes predicted by computer algorithm by the pp65-specific CTL lines. Linear expression fragments encoding various peptides including the predicted epitopes were generated and transfected into 293T cells together with restricting HLA cDNA. Recognition by the pp65-specific CTL lines was evaluated 48 hours later by ELISPOT assay. Numbers indicate the amino acid position of pp65 encoded by each construct. Linear expression fragments encoding the predicted epitopes are underlined. Each bar represents the number of spots per 104 cells.
