Cross-presentation of a spread-defective MCMV is sufficient to prime the majority of virus-specific CD8+ T cells.
CD8+ T cells can be primed by peptides derived from endogenous proteins (direct presentation), or exogenously acquired protein (cross-presentation). However, the relative ability of these two pathways to prime CD8+ T cells during a viral infection remains controversial. Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) can...
