In two healthy BKPyV-seropositive HLA-B*0702 blood donors, variant LSLMRKAYL showed reduced CD8 T-cell responses compared to LPLMRKAYL. Thus, despite LTag being highly conserved, aa-exchanges occur in immunodominant CD8 T-cell epitopes of BKPyV-genotypes as well as of genotypes -independent variants, which may contribute to genotype-dependent and…[Read more]

Since 1995, the average height of children with T1DM has increased in parallel with…[Read more]
