MHVA59
expressing the LCMV CD8 epitope gp33. We have selected
a recombinant MHV-A59 (RA59) expressing a foreign
CD8 T-cell epitope, gp33, derived from the glycoprotein (or
G protein) of LCMV. The gp33 epitope is expressed as a
fusion protein, sandwiched between a 9-amino-acid fragment
of the MHV ORF4a protein (37) and the EGFP (4)
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus
