rAFSPEiIPMF diminished HLA binding or increased off-rate; literature escape

Epitope Name KF11

Species (MHC/HLA) human(B*57)

Variant Details

Showing 1 of 2 variants.

Variant ID.	`2364`
Epitope Seq.	`KAFSPEVIPMF`
Variant Seq.	`rAFSPEiIPMF`
Mutations	K/R V/I
Epitope Location	K1R V7I
HXB2 Location	K162R V168I
Mutation Type	DHB: diminished HLA binding or increased off-rate LE: literature escape
Epitope Subtype	B
Variant Subtype	B
Method	CD8 T-cell Elispot - IFNy, Sequence
Note	This rare escape was seen in subject CH-13, a controller. CH-13 also displayed a rare substitution in epitope TW10 (TSTLQEQIGW), suggesting that the two rare mutational pathways may be inter-dependent. Avidity of this variant, rAFSPEiIPMF, was much lower than that of wild type KF11.
