Author Location	RT(313-321)
Epitope	AIFQSSMTK	Epitope Alignment
Subtype	B, CRF01_AE
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(A*1101)
Immunogen
Country	Thailand
Experimental methods
Keywords	HIV exposed persistently seronegative (HEPS), structure

Notes

• HLA-A*1101 has been associated with resistance to acquisition of HIV-1 infection in female sex-workers in Thailand. Its crystal structure has been determined in association with two immunodominant A*1101 HIV-1 CTL epitopes. Its anchor residues are confirmed as P2(Ile/Val) and C-term (Lys). The backbone conformation of the peptides is defined as two bulges separated by a secondary anchor residue (P6 Ser or Met) that may offer various advantages in the selection and presentation of CTL epitopes by HLA-A*1101.
