Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate HLA class I allele frequencies in a Kenyan commercial sex worker (CSW) cohort, and to examine HIV-1 specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses directed against epitopes derived from locally prevalent clade A virus. METHODS: PCR-single strand polymorphism HLA class I typing. Sequencing of novel alleles and examination of their distribution in the CSW cohort, and a low risk HIV...
