Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses were studied in seven seropositive long-term asymptomatic individuals (CDC A1) with stable CD4 counts for more than 8 years. Using a set of partially overlapping peptides covering the whole Gag, five 1...
