title: Modified location of the major histocompatibility protein Kb by co-delivery with VP22 protein.
abstract: We report the construction of an expression vector pVP22::Kb that encodes a chimeric protein composed of VP22 and murine major histocompatibility complex class I molecule, Kb. Flow cytometry assays show that VP22 modifies normal cell surface localization of Kb protein.
