HXB2 Location	Pol(126-133) Protease(70-77) DNA(2460..2483)	Pol Epitope Map
Author Location	Pol(126-133)
Epitope	`KAIGTVLV`	Epitope Alignment
Epitope Name	KV8
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(B35:01, B35:08)
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.
KAIGTVLV had a significantly positive association with HLA B*3501,B*3508; it was recognized by 6/39 B*3501,B*3508-positive subjects and 12/302 B*3501,B*3508-negative subjects.

Notes

In a follow-up on the anonymous 1999 Berlin patient (not Timothy Brown of 2008), viral replication suppression was seen after 15 years of absence of ART. Half the HIV-specific CTL responses in this patient were restricted by HLA-B*57, with the most immunodominant being against Nef HW9, HTQGYFPDW.
Patient autologous sequence of B*57-restricted Protease KV8, KAIGTVLV, elicited a CTL response of >500 sfu/10⁶ PBMC when tested by EliSpot.

Notes

620 patients in early/acute stages of infection were screened for Elispot responses to optimally defined epitopes to find associations between specific CTL responses and long-term control of HIV-1. Seven epitope-specific responses were associated with delayed initiation of ART, and 12 were associated with a more rapid initiation of therapy. While initial viremia, HLA Class I genotype and viral set points were associated, breadth and magnitude of response did not influence early viral set point. A broader CTL response to Gag, however, associates with slower disease progression.
Initial specificity of CTL response rather than restricting HLA-I molecule contributes to disease control.
The HLA-B*57-restricted epitope KAIGTVLV was associated with accelerated initiation of ART.

Notes

HLA-B63-positive subjects were shown to be able to generate CTL responses early in acute HIV infection and to control HIV replication in the absence of antiretroviral treatment. Since HLA-B63 shares the epitope binding motif of HLA-B57 and -B58, it was shown that HLA-B63-positive individuals mounted CTL responses to previously identified B57-restricted epitopes, as well as novel, B63-restricted epitopes. Moreover, these novel B63-restricted epitopes can also be presented by HLA-B57 and -B58.
HLA-B63/57/58 epitope containing the B58 supertype binding motif. Significantly more often recognized by B63-positive subjects than by negative subjects. Optimal epitope was defined in a person who was B57+. B63-KAIGTVLV is a novel epitope.
