Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) induces strong responses from human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In a previous report we identified an immunodominant region (amino acids 73-144) in the NEF protein that was recognized by CD8+ class I-restricted CTL of most asymptomatic individuals. Analysis of the 73-144 region by peptide sensitization, experiments...
