Abstract excerpt
Different vaccine approaches cope with HIV-1 diversity, ranging from centralized(1-4) to variability-encompassing(5-7) antigens. For all these strategies, a concern remains: how does HIV-1 diversity impact epitope recognition by the immune system? We studied the relationship between HIV-1 diversity and CD8(+) T Lymphocytes (CTL) targeting of HIV-1 subtype B Nef using 944 peptides (10-mers overlapping by nine...
