abstract：:CD8+ T lymphocytes are key effectors in the control of viral diseases and some tumours. In general, the majority of CD8+ T cells recognize a few immunodominant epitopes, but in some circumstances, subdominant specificities may be more relevant as targets for vaccines or immunotherapy. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associat...
