Evaluation of Cellular Immunity with ASFV Infection by Swine Leukocyte Antigen (SLA)—Peptide Tetramers
African swine fever virus (ASFV) causes acute hemorrhagic fever in domestic pigs and wild boars, resulting in incalculable economic losses to the pig industry. As the mechanism of viral infection is not clear, protective antigens have not been discovered or identified. In this study, we determined t...
