Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention generally relates to the prophylaxis, treatment and diagnosis of infections caused by poxviruses, in particular viruses of the genus Orthopoxvirus. In one specific embodiment, the present invention provides peptides which are recognized as peptide antigens by the immune system, in particular by CD8-positive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), and thus elicit an immune response against poxviruses.
