Notes

• HLA class I restricted CD8+ T-cell responses against HIV-1 were analyzed in African patients. Significantly more responses were shown to be HLA-B restricted. Viral load, CD4 count, and thus rate of disease progression were also associated with HLA-B alleles. In addition, the selection pressure imposed on HIV-1 by HLA-B alleles was shown to be substantially greater than by other alleles.
• This epitope was one of two used to illustrate how specific epitopes were characterized with regard to defining the optimal epitope and the HLA restricting element. HLA allelic associations in the population with peptide recognition was generally high predictive of the epitope within the 15 mer.

• This epitope was suggested to be the epitope within a longer reactive peptide based on correspondence with a known epitope in the HIV database. Also, a significantly higher frequency of people in the Durban cohort who reacted with the peptide had this HLA type.

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 V7 residue of WHLGHGVSI are associated with the presence of the HLA presenting molecule in the host. Mutation of a residue outside of the optimized epitope is also associated with the HLA.

Keywords	HLA associated polymorphism

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.
• WHLGHGVSI was a previously defined B*1510 presented epitope that was associated with a polymorphism, d|WHLGHGVSI, in the first position before that epitope. This epitope was embedded in a previously identified CTL immunoreactive region.

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, WHLGHGVSI, is HLA-B*1510-restricted. Response to a peptide containing this epitope was detected in an early controller 12 weeks post-infection.

Keywords	computational epitope prediction, escape, acute/early infection, mutation acquisition

Notes

• 17 patients with acute HIV-1 infection were followed to validate that (1) relative escape rate (2) location and identity of escape mutations and (3) epistatic effects on escape, could be predicted within a host by using a simple model based on population genetics and known fitness measures of HIV polyproteins. In general escape location was found most at residues with the lowest fitness cost and escape time correlates with early detection of mutants when T cell response was first detected.
• Epitope WHLGHGVSI had a fitness cost ΔE of 4.672 and T cell response was first detected to it at 21d, escape time was 408.47 days.
