Genetic Analysis Reveals Differences in CD8<sup>+</sup> T Cell Epitope Regions That May Impact Cross-Reactivity of Vaccine-Induced T Cells against Wild-Type Mumps Viruses

Genetic Analysis Reveals Differences in CD8<sup>+</sup> T Cell Epitope Regions That May Impact Cross-Reactivity of Vaccine-Induced T Cells against Wild-Type Mumps Viruses

Nowadays, mumps is re-emerging in highly vaccinated populations. Waning of vaccine-induced immunity plays a role, but antigenic differences between vaccine and mumps outbreak strains could also contribute to reduced vaccine effectiveness. CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells play a critical role in i...
