Abstract excerpt
The genetic divergence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 into distinct clades is a serious consideration for cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-based vaccine development. Demonstrations that CTLs can cross-recognize epitope sequences from different clades has been proposed as offering hope for a single vaccine. Cross-clade CTL data, however, have been generated by assessing recognition of exogenous peptides. The...
