BACKGROUND:Previously, we identified a set of HLA-A020.1-restricted trans-sialidase peptides as targets of CD8+ T cell responses in HLA-A0201+ individuals chronically infected by T. cruzi. METHODS AND FINDINGS:Herein, we report the identification of peptides encoded by the same trans-sialidase gene...
