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.
IEIKDTKEAL had a significantly positive association with HLA A*01; it was recognized by 3/44 A*01-positive subjects and 1/188 A*01-negative subjects.

Notes

49 ART-naive chronically HIV-1 infected Chinese subjects' CTLs were tested with 413 OLPs in IFN-gamma 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-B40-restricted epitope IEIKDTKEAL elicited an immune response in Chinese HIV-1 positive subjects as part of peptides LYCVHQRIEIKDTKEAL and IEIKDTKEALEKIEEEQNK.
3 of the 20 HLA-B40 carriers responded to a IEIKDTKEAL-containing peptide with average magnitude of CTL response of 363 SFC/million PBMC (author communication and Fig.1).

Notes

Immunodominant HIV epitopes in early, primary infection of CTLs were identified and the relative contribution of immune responses restricted to individual HLA class I molecules were studied.
The most frequently recognised 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 contribution of other restricting HLA dropped greatly.

Notes

CD8+ T-cell function induced by HIV-1 immunogens and natural infection was compared. Natural infections consisted of early, chronic, and long term nonprogressors.
B27- and B57-restricted CD8+ T cells from nonprogressors exhibited greater expansion than those restricted by other alleles, providing an explanation for the observed association between HLA-B27/B57 and control of HIV-1 infection.

Notes

98 newly infected patients were studied to track early host HLA and Gag/Pol/Nef epitope immune responses' association with viral evolution. Response hierarchies were the same as those for later infection, and 50% of the most rapidly substituting epitopes were restricted by protective HLA, e.g. Gag B*57-associated mutations which were the most rapidly reverting upon transmission to a non-B*57-host. While there are great differences in mutation rates and reversions across the HIV proteome, most early viral change is driven by immune pressure.
HLA-driven epitope evolution was seen in 80% of published CTL epitopes.
HLA-B*40-associated substitution within optimally defined epitope IEIKDTKEAL is at positions E2, IeIKDTKEAL.

Notes

The extent to which set-point viremia is affected by early HIV-infection T cell responses to either conserved or variable epitopes was studied. 23 ART-naive subjects were characterized for CTL responses for 6 months, postinfection. While most CTL responses (73/123) were targeted against variable HIV-1 epitopes, recognition of conserved epitopes (16/123) was associated with lower set point viremia. This was independent of HLA type and also functional avidity of the CTL response. Most of the conserved responses were targeted to Gag and Pol epitopes.
IEIKDTKEAL, restricted by B*4001, was recognized by 1 patient with the restricting allele.

Notes

Therapy provided during acute infection resulted in a narrower CTL response, stronger T help response, and a less diverse viral population than was seen in individuals treated during chronic infection.
The breadth and specificity of the response was determined using ELISPOT by studying 19 individuals with pre-seroconversion therapy (Group 1), 11 individuals with primary infection but post-seroconversion therapy (Group 2), and 10 individuals who responded to HAART given during chronic infection (Group 3), using 259 overlapping peptides spanning p17, p24, RT, gp41, gp120 and Nef.
Previously described and newly defined optimal epitopes were tested for CTL response.
Number of HLA-B60+ individuals that had a CTL response to this epitope broken down by group: 0/2 group 1, 1/1 group 2, and 0/0 group 3.

Notes

Nef down-modulates class I protein expression, and this study demonstrates directly that Nef-deleted HIV-1 NL-43 can be more effectively killed in vitro than NL-43 with an intact Nef. The effect was shown to be specific for class I presentation of epitopes, and unlike Nef, deleting Vpr did not alter CTL susceptibility of NL43 infected cells. The CTL clone 161JD27, specific for the class I B60 presented epitope IEIKDTKEAL, was one of four used in this study.

Notes

Virus was cultured in the presence of CTL lines specific for 5 different epitopes (SLYNTVATL, ILKEPVHGV, IEIKDTKEAL, SEGATPQDL, and KEKGGLEGL) to study the emergence of escape mutations. Escape varied between clones for the same epitope, and between different epitopes. Gag and RT epitope escape, if it occurred at all, tended to be monoclonal and within the epitope, indicating strong fitness constraints, while the Nef epitope escape was rapid, polyconal, and sometimes the result of upstream frameshifts.
There was one cloned cell line that recognized IEIKDTKEAL, 161JD27. After 2 weeks of passaging HIV-1 in the presence of 161JD27, no mutations were observed within the epitope in 10 sequences; one of the 10 had a single E -> K substitution 6 amino acids beyond the C-terminal end of the epitope.

Notes

HIV-1 gp120 is shown to suppress the ability of antigen-specific CTLs to migrate or remain at sites of high viral replication by concentration-dependent chemotaxis and fugetaxis. Directional T-cell movement is shown to depend on the interaction of the V2 and V3 loops with the CXCR4 receptor. X4 HIV-1 gp120 causes the migration of T-cells, including HIV-1 specific CTL, away from infected target cells, another potential mechanism for immune evasion.

Notes

Killing efficiency of CTLs and their ability to suppress viral replication is shown to depend more on epitope specificity than to antigenic avidity. Different clones recognizing the same epitope had similar killing efficiency despite their variation in avidity. Nef specific CTL clones tended to be most inhibitory, followed by Gag, then by RT specific clones, regardless of avidity.
1/14 CTL T-cell clones tested were specific for Gag/p17-IL10. Under conditions of excess peptide (100ug/ml), there was no difference in their lytic potential; all possessed similar effector capacity. Avidity was measured as the sensitizing dose of peptide required for 50% of maximal killing (SD50), which varied from 20 pg/ml to 100 ng/ml, over four orders of magnitude for all 14 epitopes. The SD50 value for the Gag/p17-IL10 clone was 8,000 pg/ml.

Keywords	immunodominance

Notes

No immunodominant responses were detected to five B*61-restricted epitopes tested.
All five B*60-restricted epitopes were reactive in another subject, and the B*60-restricted responses together contributed over one-third of the total CTL response.

Notes

107 HLA-A*02-restricted epitopes of varying lengths (novel, nested or overlapping) were discovered by using mass spectroscopy to identify peptides bound to HLA on 3 kinds of HIV-infected cells (66 from 293T cells, 20 from a B cell line, B-MDC, and 39 from primary CD4+ T cells). 80-91% of peptides partly overlapped known reported epitopes by >5 aa, while 5-20% were novel. Eluted peptides tended to cluster in nested groups.
Majority of peptides isolated were from Gag and Pol, while Gag peptides from p15 outnumbered those from the more immunogenic p24. 19/23 peptides were tested and were immunogenic. Cytosolic processing and degradation was confirmed.
Highly immunogenic Gag-p17 epitope IEIKDTKEAL was naturally processed and eluted from live 293T cells.
