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.
IQQEFGIPY had a significantly positive association with HLA A*34; it was recognized by 1/7 A*34-positive subjects and 0/281 A*34-negative subjects.
IQQEFGIPY was significantly nonprotective, associated with HIV chronic disease progression when restricted by HLA-A*34 in a cohort of 245 controllers and 96 progressors.

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.
The tested peptide sequences, KAACWWAGIKQEFGIPY and GIKQEFGIPYNPQSQGVV, contain a variant, IkQEFGIPY that differs by 1 substitution from the previously described HLA-B15 epitope IQQEFGIPY. None of the 21 HLA-B15 carriers responded to the variant IkQEFGIPY.

Notes

CTL responses restricted by HLA-B*1503 were analyzed in HIV-1 subtype B and C-infected patients. An association between HLA-B*1503 and reduced viral loads in individuals infected with clade B was found. No such correlation was found in clade C infected subjects inspite of the same immunodominant responses in subjects infected with either subtype. Clade B viral control was associated with several subdominanat CTL epitopes lacking in clade C, suggesting that subdominant responses can contribute to viral control.
IQQEFGIPY of clade C is a potential HLA-B*1503-restricted epitope.

Notes

A prediction tool, HLArestrictor, was developed to predict minimal epitopes from longer peptides. Minimal epitopes were predicted and validated for 18 EliSpot-positive 18mers.
IQQEFGIPY was predicted from EliSpot-positive 18mer VKAACWWAGIQQEFGIPY. The epitope was validated in one B*1503-positive HIV-positive individual by tetramer staining.

Notes

Inhibitory receptor [programmed death-1 (PD-1)/lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3)/ T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (Tim-3)] expression was studied during chronic infection in 128 CTL populations from 32 ART-naive, sub-Saharan, HIV-clade C-infected subjects expressing either HLA-B*1503 or -B*4201. PD-1 was found to vary across epitope specificity whether inter- or intra-subject. PD-1 also varied with different TCR clonotypes even within one HIV-specific CTL population. PD-1 correlates directly with viral load (VL).
CTL specific for IY9-Int, IQQEFGIPY, a highly variable epitope, were found to lack significant correlation with VL.

Notes

HLA associated-HIV adaptation is studied for the first time in the Ugandan (East African) context in 464 ART-naive, AIDS patients chronically infected with HIV-1 A1 or D. Most HIV-associated polymorphisms were previously identified in other subtypes, but 34% of these were differentially selected between subtypes A1 and D. Subtype-specific variants were found to be due to effects on epitope-HLA binding (recognition) or fitness cost barriers to escape.
A novel Nef epitope was also discovered and immunologically verified.
Int epitope IQQcFGIPYT was used as a positive control in a competitive binding assay with HLA-B*1503. It differes from the published epitope IQQEFGIPYT to contain a C upon which the fluorophore was conjugated.

Notes

Publicly available HIV-1 subtype C sequences from South Africa and Botswana were analyzed, and 94 HLA-associated amino acid polymorphisms were found. Many polymorphisms were associated with multiple HLA allele classes. 12% associations were negative: association of virus expression of the consensus amino acid with a specific HLA allele. HLA-B alleles accounted for 50% of associations. 19 HLA-associated polymorphisms were embedded in previously defined epitopes.
IQQEFGIPY was a previously defined B*1503 presented epitope that encompassed a polymorphism, IqQEFGIPY,in the second position.

Notes

A comprehensive analysis of 160 class I T cell responses in 578 individuals from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa was performed. Gag-specific responses were associated with lowering viremia, while Env, accessory and regulatory protein-specific responses were associated with higher viremia.
Mutational patterns in the Q2 residue of IQQEFGIPY are associated with the presence of the HLA presenting molecule in the host.
