abstract：:A majority of immunodominant epitopes of mycobacterial antigens are known to be recognized by murine T cells in the context of several H-2 haplotypes. In this study, we established the frequency of T cells able to recognize these peptides promiscuously, i.e. in the context of allogeneic antigen-presenting cells, using...
