Virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play a major role in
the clearance of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. We have
generated cytotoxic T-cell clones (TCC) from two infants who had just
recovered from severe RSV infection. These TCC were functionally
characterized and used to identify HLA class I (B57 and C12)-restricted
CTL epitopes of RSV.
