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...
