Identification of a 40S Ribosomal Protein S4–Derived H-Y Epitope Able to Elicit a Lymphoblast-Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Response

Abstract

Our findings suggest that CTL specific to certain epitopes of ubiquitously expressed H-Y antigens may specifically target lymphoblasts, contributing to the selective GVL effect of female-to-male stem cell transplantation.
