HLA class I binding 9mer peptides from influenza A virus induce CD4 T cell responses.

<h4>Background</h4>Identification of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) restricted cytotoxic T cell (CTL) epitopes from influenza virus is of importance for the development of new effective peptide-based vaccines.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>In the present work...
