^aCommon name for antigen.

^bThe Rv designation for the mycobacterial protein.

^cThe restricting MHC protein, if known; if not, the H-2 haplotype of the mouse strain.

^dThe location of the epitope within protein sequence.

^eThe amino acid sequence of the epitope.

^fThe frequency of antigen-specific T cells among CD8⁺ T cells.

^gThe tissue used to determine the T cell frequency.
