Notes

• CTL responses were studied in treated and untreated donors from China, using Gag peptides from Henan isolate. All peptides were predicted to have A2 or A11 restriction (two of the most prominent alleles in Chinese population) and HLA restriction was further analyzed by CTL recognition in patients carrying corresponding allele. Among treated donors, HLA-A2 donors had higher CTL response than than HLA-A11 donors. Chronically infected untreated individuals had higher magnitude of CTL response than treated ones.
• Newly identified HLA-A2-restricted epitope.
• FLQSRPEPTA was among 5 mostly recognized peptides (77%).
