The antiviral efficacy of HIV-specific CD8⁺ T-cells to a conserved epitope is heavily dependent on the infecting HIV-1 isolate.

The antiviral efficacy of HIV-specific CD8⁺ T-cells to a conserved epitope is heavily dependent on the infecting HIV-1 isolate.

A major challenge to developing a successful HIV vaccine is the vast diversity of viral sequences, yet it is generally assumed that an epitope conserved between different strains will be recognised by responding T-cells. We examined whether an invariant HLA-B8 restricted Nef₉₀₋₉₇ epitope FL8 shared...
