Parvovirus B19 is a common human pathogen which can cause severe
syndromes, including aplastic anemia and fetal hydrops. The mapping of
the first parvovirus B19-derived CD8+ T-lymphocyte epitope
is described. This HLA-B35-restricted peptide derives from the
nonstructural (NS1) protein and is strongly immunogenic in B19
virus-seropositive donors.
