(lytic) infections within the cells of its host. Although T cell responses to EBV latent proteins
have been well characterized, little is known about the importance of responses to lytic
proteins in long term virus carriers. Here we have compared the frequencies of CD8+ T cells
specific for EBV latent and lytic Ags in healthy virus carriers, using three techniques: limiting
dilution analysis, enzyme-linked immunospot assay, and FACS staining with tetrameric MHC …
