Identification of hepatitis B virus-specific CTL epitopes presented by HLA-A(∗)33:03 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients and transgenic mice. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes in the HBV protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV) may play a key role in viral control and liver damage. The aim of this study was to identify and study the function of HLA-A(∗)33:03-restricted CTL epitopes in HBV protein of the HBV genotypes B and C, which are epidemic in China.
