Summary

To assess the extent of variation in CTL epitopes during influenza A virus evolution, 304 CTL clones derived from six study subjects were obtained with specificity for an influenza A/H3N2 virus isolated in 1981 and the frequency of the CTL clone that failed to recognize a more recent influenza virus strain isolated in 2003 was determined.
