HXB2 Location	gp160(794-802) gp41(283-291) DNA(8604..8630)	gp160 Epitope Map
Author Location	Env(794-802)
Epitope	`KYCWNLLQY`	Epitope Alignment
Epitope Name	KQY9
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(A*30)
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.
KYCWNLLQY had a significantly positive association with HLA A*30; it was recognized by 10/53 A*30-positive subjects and 18/288 A*30-negative subjects.
KYCWNLLQY was significantly nonprotective, associated with HIV chronic disease progression when restricted by HLA-A*30 in a cohort of 245 controllers and 96 progressors.

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

HIV-1 peptide-specific IFN-γ responses were measured over the first year of life for vertically-infected infants. Late-infected infants (between months 1 and 12) had responses that were more rapid and more focused than those infected before 1 month of life.
1/3 infants tested recognized KYCWNLLQY.

Notes

HLA-A*3002 is very common in African populations, 50% of Zimbabweans express HLA-A30, 44% in African Zulu, so five new HIV epitopes were characterized that are presented by this HLA molecule.
A rapid method was developed combining ELISPOT with intracellular IFN-γ staining of PBMCs to map optimal epitopes, then HLA presenting molecules were defined -- this method was completed within 48 to 72 hours of receipt of blood.
Two individuals were studied: Subject 199 (HLA A*0201/*3002 B*4402/51 Cw2/5), a Caucasian, and Subject 6007 (HLA A*3002/ B53/*5801 Cw4/7) an African-Caribbean.
In both HLA-A*3002 individuals the response to RSLYNTVATLY was dominant.
In subject 199 four additional A*3002 epitopes were identified.
Three quantitative assays, ELISPOT, precursor frequency and chromium release, confirmed a hierarchy of response: RY11 (p17) > KY9 (gp41) > KY9 (RT-53) > IY9 (gp41)
