ABSTRACT FVFTLTVPS was identified as the core sequence of a new major
histocompatibility complex class II-restricted T-cell epitope of influenza virus matrix protein.
Epitope-specific CD4+ T cells were detected in the peripheral blood of patients with
frequencies of up to 0.94%, depending on the number of additional terminal amino acids.
