Abstract excerpt
In 8 of 12 experimentally infected macaques, the Nef SIVmac 251 protein was recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and appeared strongly immunogenic. Here, we report experiments which have been performed by using synthetic peptides to precisely determine the epitopes recognized by macaque CTL. Three epitopes of the Nef protein have been defined as CTL targets in three macaques. The epitopic peptides are...
