HXB2 Location	Vif(28-36) DNA(5122..5148)	Vif Epitope Map
Author Location	Vif(28-36)
Epitope	`HMYISKKAK`	Epitope Alignment
Epitope Name	HK9
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(A*03)
Immunogen	HIV-1 infection
Experimental methods	CD8 T-cell Elispot - IFNγ, Flow cytometric T-cell cytokine assay
Keywords	rate of progression, optimal epitope, chronic infection

Notes

Correlation between HLA class I and spontaneous control of HIV-1 was significant for 7-8 epitopes when 341 chronic, HIV-infected subjects, divided into controllers and non-controllers, were tested for EliSpot responses to 257 optimally defined epitopes. 21 epitopes were associated with viral progression. Protective epitopes tend to cluster in regions of critical stability for the protein, therefore constraining escape.
HMYISKKAK had a significantly positive association with HLA A*03; it was recognized by 4/60 A*03-positive subjects and 1/255 A*03-negative subjects.

Notes

This review makes the argument that T-cell subsets recognizing the HIV/SIV viral infectivity factor Vif, may be essential for control of HIV replication as vif-deficient strains can only complete one round of replication and Vif targets the cellular viral-restriction-factor, APOBEC3G (A3G) with the help of Elongin B/C and Cullin-5 to proteasomal degradation.
HIV-1 HLA-A*0301 restricted epitope KK9, HMYISKKAK (Vif 28-36) does not overlap any known functional domain of Vif.

Notes

CTL responses against regulatory and accessory proteins in 70 HIV-1 infected patients were studied using overlapping peptides and Elispot.
28% targeted one or more overlapping Tat peptides; 36%, Rev peptides; 33%, Vif peptides; 40%, Vpr peptides; and 2%, Vpu peptides.
All known optimally defined epitopes were summarized for the five proteins.

Notes

49 ART-naive chronically HIV-1 infected Chinese subjects' CTLs were tested with 413 OLPs in IFN-γ assays, determining optimal epitopes specific for Chinese Clade B HIV-1 sequences.
An inverse correlation was found between CTL response and viral load.
Targeted peptides have lower entropy than peptides that are not CTL targeted. This correlation is independent of HLA-restriction.
Previously described HLA-A3-restricted epitope HMYISKKAK elicited an immune response in Chinese HIV-1 positive subjects as part of peptide VKHHMYISKKAKGWLYKH.
1 of the 3 HLA-A3 carriers responded to HMYISKKAK-containing peptidewith a magnitude of CTL response of 70 SFC/million PBMC (author communication and Fig.1).

Keywords	rate of progression, immunodominance, early-expressed proteins

Notes

Immunodominant HIV epitopes in early, primary infection of CTLs were identified and the relative contributions of immune responses restricted to individual HLA class I molecules were studied.
This epitope-HLA combination was recognized. The most frequently recognized epitopes also elicited the greatest CTL response.
HIV-1 Epitope sequence variability was not correlated with immunodominant versus immune sub-dominant responses.
HLA-B*57 and HLA-B*27 restricted responses were the strongest in these early and acute infections - due to dominant responses to a single epitope in each case (TW10 for B*57 and KK10 for B*27).
In the presence of HLA-B*57 and HLA-B*27 restricted responses, the relative contributions of other restricting HLA dropped greatly.

Notes

CTL responses in 18 acutely HIV-infected HLA-A3 (n=7) or -B7 (n=4) or both -A3 and B7 (n=7) positive individuals were studied.
One individual, AC-06, was homozygous at all three class I alleles (A3, B7, Cw7), was treated during acute infection and had supervised treatment interruptions (STI). He had only two detectable CTL responses during acute infection, but after STI this broadened to 27 distinct epitopes including 15 restricted by HLA-A3, 11 by HLA-B7, and 1 by HLA-Cw7.
0/14 HLA-A3 positive individuals had detectable A3-restricted responses to this epitope during acute infection, but only 5/15 of HLA-A3 epitopes tested were targeted during acute infection. 2/7 individuals had detectable responses to this epitope after STI.
