HXB2 Location	Gag(180-187) p24(48-55) DNA(1327..1350)	Gag Epitope Map
Author Location	p24(48-55)
Epitope	TPQDLNTM	Epitope Alignment
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(B*07)
Immunogen	HIV-1 infection
Country	Spain
Experimental methods	CD8 T-cell Elispot - IFNγ, Flow cytometric T-cell cytokine assay, Proliferation
Keywords	HAART, ART, supervised treatment interruptions (STI)

Notes

• Structured treatment interruption (STI) alone is not able to control viral replication in chronically infected patients, probably due to lack of strong, maintained T-helper cell responses. HIV-1 specific CD8+ T-cell responses were shown to increase significantly until the end of the follow up, but were not correlated with viral load.
• Less than 2 of 7 patients recognized this epitope.

Vaccine Details

Notes

• The study objective was to design a vaccine construct containing HIV-1 epitopes that would generate broad CD8+ responses. Among 14 known B7-restricted epitopes, 11 induced a response in B*07 transgenic mice. Among 11 novel candidate epitopes, all induced a response in B*07 mice, and all induced a response in at least 1 human B7+ donor. Immunological recognition of these epitopes was confirmed in HLA-B*0702 HIV-1-infected individuals.
• TPQDLNTM is a known B07 epitope that was not recognized by B*07 transgenic mice.

HXB2 Location	Gag(180-187) p24(48-55) DNA(1327..1350)	Gag Epitope Map
Author Location	p24
Epitope	TPQDLNTM	Epitope Alignment
Subtype	C
Species (MHC/HLA)	human(B*81:01)
Immunogen	HIV-1 infection
Country	South Africa
Experimental methods	CD8 T-cell Elispot - IFNγ
Keywords	viral fitness and reversion, HLA associated polymorphism

Notes

• HLA-associated polymorphisms were studied in a cohort of 710 chronic subtype C patients from South Africa. 84 HLA Class I-associated polymorphisms were identified, 73% of them with HLA-B. The viral set points associated with HLA allele correlated with the number of reversions associated with that allele, (HLA-B in Gag, HLA-C in Pol).
• TPQDLNTM is a previously described HLA-B*8101-restricted epitope (part of Gag reacting peptide EVIPMFTALSeGATPQDLNTM) that contains a B*8101-associated reversion at residues E, T or Q (TPQDLNtM/TPqDLNTM).
