LLO (91 - 99)

Description:

This peptide is the H2-Kd-restricted epitope of Listeriolysin O (LLO). LLO is necessary for Listeria monocytogenes to escape the vacuoles of host cells and enter the cytoplasm during infection. By eliciting a CTL response, this peptide is a potential vaccine candidate against L. monocytogen
