Variant Details

Showing 1 of 2 variants.

Variant ID.	`339`
Epitope Seq.	`HYMLKHIVW`
Variant Seq.	`kYrLKHlVW`
Mutations	H/K M/R I/L
Epitope Location	H1K M3R I7L
HXB2 Location	H28K M30R I34L
Mutation Type	DR: diminished response
Epitope Subtype	C
Variant Subtype	D
Note	The wild type epitope sequence was a subtype C peptide, the variant found in subtype D. CTL response in 56 individuals from Tanzania was strongest for subtype C peptide, and lower for subtype D, due to point mutation effect.
