Abstract excerpt
A human CTL epitope located in a region of the HIV-1 envelope protein gp41 that is highly conserved among various HIV-1 strains was identified. This epitope was recognized by CD4+ CTL clones that were induced in seronegative humans by immunization with recombinant gp160. Fusion proteins carrying portions of the HIV-1 env gene and synthetic peptides were used to localize this epitope to amino acids 584-595 of the...
