Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T cell determinants should be an important component of an anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine. The epitopes of proteins can be defined with short synthetic peptides for class I-restricted CTLs. An immunodominant CTL epitope from the HIV-1 IIIB envelope protein gp160 comprising 15 amino acids (residues 315-329: RIQRGPGRAFVTIGK) (P18IIIB) has been identified that is recognized by class I MHC...
