HXB2 Location	Gag(147-155) p24(15-23) DNA(1228..1254)	Gag Epitope Map
Author Location
Epitope	ISPRTLNAW	Epitope Alignment
		Show epitope variants
Subtype	B
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(B*5701)
Immunogen	HIV-1 infection
Experimental methods	Flow cytometric T-cell cytokine assay, Intracellular cytokine staining
Keywords	rate of progression, escape

Notes

• cDNA Gag sequences from a set of 17 HLA-B*5701+ progressors and 10 LTNPs were obtained, and the variation in four p24 B*5701 epitopes examined. Sequence variants were more common (p < 0.01) in the epitopes in the progressors (median 3, range 1-7) than LTNPs (median 2, range 0-4).
• In general use of the autologous protein in a target cell did not diminish the overall CD8+ T-cell responses.

• In general, use of the autologous protein in a target cell did not diminish the overall CD8+ T-cell responses.
• This epitope tends to be quantitatively immunodominant in B57+ people, including in some of the individuals in this study. It was extremely well conserved in the sequences obtained here, despite strong immune pressure, suggesting fitness constraints.

• The substitution E312D (qasqDvknw) was common in progressors (8/17) and rare in LTNP (1/8) (p = 0.06). qasqDvknw and qasqEvknw peptides were made; this mutation does not affect binding to B*57. 2/4 progressors that carried only the D variant could not recognize the D variant peptide, but could recognize the E variant peptide, demonstrating immune escape.
