Induction in vivo of antiviral cytotoxic T cell response was achieved in a MHC class I-dependent fashion by immunizing mice three times with a free unmodified 15-mer peptide derived from the nucleoprotein of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in IFA. The effector T cells are CD8+, restricted to the class I Ld allele of the analyzed mouse strain, and are specific both at the level of secondary restimulation in vitro and at the effector T cell level. These results suggest that cocktails of viral peptides may be used as antiviral T cell vaccines.
