From: Ovine and murine T cell epitopes from the non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) are shared among viral serotypes

Figure 6

Peptide NS1(141) and NS1(522) are presented by several BTV serotypes. PBLs from infected sheep were stimulated either with (A) NS1(141) or (B) NS1(522) peptide. After 1-week expansion, IFN-γ production was assessed against several BTV serotypes. CD4+ T cells specific for NS1(141) or NS1(522) were able to produce IFN-γ not only in the presence of BTV-8 (used for infection) but also for BTV-1 and -4.
