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.
Prewviously described HLA-A32-restricted epitope RIKQIINMW elicited an immune response in Chinese HIV-1 positive subjects as part of peptides ENITLPCRIKQIINMW and CRIKQIINMWQEVGKAMY.

Notes

Peripheral blood (PB) and lymph node (LN) CD8+ T-cell responses were compared in 15 asymptomatic HIV-1 infected patients using all known optimal CTL epitopes (http://hiv-web.lanl.gov/content/hiv-db/REVIEWS/brander2001.html) for each person's class I HLA alleles.
60 epitope responses were detected in both PB and LN samples of the 15 patients, and an additional 8 responses were detected only in LN. The total magnitude of the response was similar in LN and PB, but the percentage of CD8+ T cells in the LN is lower so the number of HIV-specific cells per million CD8+ T-cells is higher in the LN.
1 year post-HAART treatment in five patients studied, the magnitude of the CD8 T-cell response was decreased in both LN and PB, but more dramatically in PB, and 13/25 epitope responses in the PB became undetectable, in contrast to 5/26 in the LN.
Treatment interruption following HAART induced resulted in increased viremia accompanied by the restoration of the detection of 13 epitopes that had become undetectable in the PB, and the addition of 9 novel epitope responses.
Breakdowns of epitope responses were shown for 4 individuals. Patient B displayed the greatest response to epitope B44-AW11(p24) and also responded to A32-PW10(RT) in both PB and LN samples, while a third response against epitope A32-RW10(gp120) was only detected in the LN sample. Patient D displayed the greatest response to B27-KK10 (p24), and also responded to A30-RY11(p17), A32-PW10(RT), A30-KY11(RT), A32-RW10(gp120), and B18-YY9(Nef).

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.
RIKQIINMW had a significantly positive association with HLA A*32; it was recognized by 7/22 A*32-positive subjects and 10/230 A*32-negative subjects.
RIKQIINMW was significantly protective, associated with viral control when restricted by HLA-A*32 in a cohort of 245 controllers and 96 progressors.

Notes

47 HIV-1 subtype C infected patients were followed longitudinally to determine whether there was a relation between magnitude and breadth of CTL responses in primary, acute infection (measured by IFN-gamma ELISpot) and disease progression (measured as viral load at 12 months). CTL responses to Nef were dominant (targeting 6 epitopic regions), followed by responses to Gag, Pol, Rev, Vpr, Env, Vpu, Vif and finally Tat.
Known epitope RIKQIINMW is HLA-A*3201-restricted. Response to a peptide containing this epitope was detected in an HLA-A*3204 positive rapid progressor, 12 weeks post-infection.

Vaccine Details

Vaccine type	DNA prime with Ad5 boost
Vaccine strain	A clade, B clade, C clade

Notes

A DNA/rAD vaccine induced greater HIV-1-specific CD8+ T-cell responses and higher antibody titers, compared to either a DNA or rAD vaccine alone. This boost in recognition increased the frequency of CTL response, but did not affect either functional avidity or recognition pattern much. Epitopes mapped in Gag and Env demonstrated partial cross-clade recognition.
1/9 vaccinees (Subject A) had a positive response to this epitope in EliSpot assay. The minimum epitope was determined from the original 15-mer. It was shown to be a CD8 epitope by ICS assay.
Before boost, the responding subject had an EliSpot response to the wild-type sequence (variants not tested). After boost, the subject responded with greater frequency to the wild-type and variants kIKQIINMW and RIKQIINrW.

Notes

CTL responses were measured in a highly exposed patient who was seronegative for 2 years, both before and after seroconversion. CTL responses after seroconversion were stronger, and more of the responses were associated with protective HLA allele B27.
RIKQIINMW was part of a pool that was not recognized by the HEPS patient before seroconversion; it elicited an EliSpot response after seroconversion. The patient's consensus sequence at day 24 after seroconversion was the same as the test peptide.
