Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cryptic epitopes (CEs) are peptides derived from the translation of 1 or more of the 5 alternative reading frames (ARFs; 2 sense and 3 antisense) of genes. Here, we compared response rates to HIV-1-specific CE predicted to be restricted by HLA-I alleles associated with protection against disease progression to those without any such association. METHODS: Peptides (9mer to 11mer) were designed based on...
