HIV-1 escape from surveillance by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) is thought to cause at least transient weakening of immune control. However, the CTL response is highly adaptable and the long-term consequences of viral escape are not fully understood. The objective of this study was to address...

There is a consensus that Gag-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response plays a key role in the immune control of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. In this study, we analyzed all currently available gag sequences in the Los Alamos HIV sequence database and identified...

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is causally related to Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), the most common malignancy in untreated individuals with HIV/AIDS. The adaptive T-cell immune response against KSHV has not been fully characterized. To achieve a better understanding of the antigenic...

Although much effort has been expended on evaluating recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides as immunogens, they have generally proved incapable of inducing an efficient cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response. Filamentous bacteriophage fd can display multiple copies of foreign peptides in the...
