Induction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) envelope specific cell-mediated immunity by a non-homologous synthetic peptide.
<h4>Background</h4>Cell mediated immunity, including efficient CTL response, is required to prevent HIV-1 from cell-to-cell transmission. In previous investigations, we have shown that B1 peptide derived by Fourier transformation of HIV-1 primary structures and sharing no sequence homolo...

In previous investigations, we have shown that B1 peptide derived by Fourier transformation of HIV-1 primary structures and sharing no sequence homology with the parent proteins was able to generate antiserum which recognizes envelope and Tat proteins. Here we have investigated cellular immune response towards a novel non-homologous peptide, referred to as cA1 peptide.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>The 20 amino acid sequence of cA1 peptide was predicted using the notion of peptide hydropathic properties; the peptide is encoded by the complementary anti-sense DNA strand to the sense strand of previously described non-homologous A1 peptide. In this report we demonstrate that the cA1 peptide can be a target for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes in HIV-1-infected or envelope-immunized individuals. The cA1 peptide is recognized in association with different MHC class I allotypes and could prime in vitro CTLs, derived from gp160-immunized individuals capable to recognize virus variants.<h4>Conclusions/significance</h4>For the first time a theoretically designed immunogen involved in broad-based cell-immune memory activation is described. Our findings may thus contribute to the advance in vaccine research by describing a novel strategy to develop a synthetic AIDS vaccine.Ammar AchourJean-Michel BiquardVelibor KrsmanovicJean-Pierre M'bikaDamien FicheuxMarianna SikorskaAlain J CozzonePublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 2, Iss 11, p e1214 (2007) |
