This octapeptide is amino acids 52 to 59 fragment of the the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) nucleoprotein. VSV-8 is derived from the VSV nucleoprotein that is expressed in the cytosol of the infected cells. CTL response against VSV in H-2Kb mice is directed against this single VSV-8 immunodominant peptide. This peptide forms complex with murine MHC class I molecule H-2Kb, which is similar to human HLA class I.
