- FIG. 4 A schematic drawing of a MHC (HLA in humans) tetramer consisting of Avidin, 4 MHC (HLA) class I molecules and 4 peptide epitopes binding to the MHC (HLA) class I molecules Table 1 HLA genotypes associated with resistance or susceptibility to HIV infection
- HLAs Human Leukocyte Antigens
- HLA molecules are central in regulating the immune response through the binding and presentation of peptides known as epitopes derived from self and foreign proteins to T cells.
- the genes coding for HLA are extremely polymorphic. This genetic diversity ensures that no pathogens can escape detection at the population level. For instance, homozygosity for class I HLA alleles, which limits the breadth of the Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte (CTL) response, has been shown to accelerate disease progression and increase susceptibility to HIV infection [13].
- CTL Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte
- HLA class I and class Il antigens regulate immune responses through binding and presenting antigens to CD8+ and CD4+ T cells
- the associations of HLA alleles with different outcomes of HIV-1 infection are most likely due to the differences in the antigenic peptides or epitopes of HIV being presented and the resulting immune responses that are engaged following immune recognition.
- HLA genotypes play an important role in susceptibility and resistance to HIV-1 infection. While several group have identified HLA types that seem to protect against disease progression, we have identified several that protect against infection and also against disease progression.
- the traditional methods for epitope identification include algorithmic identification, peptide elution, and cell-based binding assay techniques.
- the low throughput, poor reproducibility, labour intensity, and restriction to only the most commonly studied MHC types have impeded the success of these methods.
- the iTopia ® Epitope Discovery System by Beckman Coulter is a cell free system that can be used to identify, rapidly and reproducibly, epitopes for specific HLA alleles. The identified epitopes can then be confirmed with patient samples using ELISPOT and cytokine flow cytometry (CFC) assays.
- CFC cytokine flow cytometry

- HIV-1 infection HLA-B * 0702 with susceptible to HIV-1 infection through the study of highly exposed sexworkers in the Pumwani sexworkers cohort. Women who are A * 0101 positive are more likely to be HIV-1 uninfected under highly exposed conditions, whereas women who are B*0702 positive are more likely to be infected in the Pumwani sexworker cohort. Furthermore, HIV-1 infected B * 0702 positive Caucasians also have higher viral load and rapidly progress to AIDS.
- A*0101 positive women are more likely to be uninfected under the highly exposed conditions and the A*0101 only recognizes a few and unique epitopes in HIV-1 gag and env protein, the protective immune responses correlate to fewer epitopes, narrow in spectrum, specific in location of the epitopes.
- B * 0702 positive women are more likely to be HIV-1 positive and once infected are more likely to have higher viral load and rapidly progress to AIDS and B * 0702 recognize many epitopes with high affinity, low off-rate in HIV-1 gag and env proteins, thus accounting for the unprotective immune response or immune failure or harmful immune responses correlated to many epitopes and wide spectrum.
- the correlates of protective or bad immune response to HIV-1 infection provides a guide to develop and test effective vaccines for HIV-1 and the tools, such as tetramers constructed with the specific alleles and peptides can be used to monitor the effective of the vaccination.
- the specific peptides can be used as components of peptide-based vaccines.
- a reagent comprising: a peptide consisting of or consisting essentially of an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of any one of SEQ ID Nos. 33-124; at least one MHC class I molecule; and a detectable label.

- the B*0702 epitopes as components of tetramers can be used to monitor failed vaccine responses, or to identify immunologic failure in terms of patient care and treatment That is, Individuals recognizing 'bad' epitopes may need different clinical care compared to those recognizing 'good' immune responses, as discussed herein Accordingly, the inventors believe that this represents a novel strategy for
- the HIV vaccine should include only a narrow spectrum of peptides, such as the A * 0101 epitope that is located at the protease cleavage site of p17/p24, in the critical site of env N- terminal and/or any one of the peptides as set forth in SEQ ID Nos 1-32 Immune responses generated against these epitopes or multiple copies of these epitopes can be expected to provide sufficient protection
- the B * 0702 epitopes should be avoided in HIV-1 vaccine and measures that can neutralize or block the immune recognition of B * 0702 epitopes should be used in conjunction of the HIV-1 vaccination While not wishing to be bound to a particular theory or hypothesis, the inventors note that since HIV-1 cannot efficiently infect and replicate in resting T cells, immune activation by recognition of multiple epitopes with high affinity and low off-rates will provide more targets and conditions for HIV-1 infection and replication The large number and wide spectrum of gag peptides recognized by B * 0702 will result in a wider spectrum

- NSSKVSQNY variants that present in the consensus sequences of major HIV-1 subtypes and shown that the recognition of A * 0101 to the consensus sequence variants of major HIV-1 subtypes (Table 2) This would suggest that the application of the invention to different HIV-1 subtypes We could presume (as would any skilled in 'the art' that variants of this peptide that can be presented by A0101 or other protective HLA types could also be used for this strategy This would include naturally occurring variants of NSSKVSQNY (Table 2) as well as any peptides that may be longer or shorter and still capable of being presented by A0101 class I epitope that still contain the NSSKVSQNY (SEQ ID No 6) or its variants motif or an amino acid sequence as set forth in any one of SEQ ID Nos 1-32
- a high resolution sequence-based HLA typing method was used to type HLA class I genes and a two-step sequence-based method was used to type DRB genes[24, 25].
- Ambiguous allele combinations were resolved by sequencing with sequence-specific primers Since only exon 2 and exon 3 of class I genes are involved in the peptide binding grove, we did not attempt to resolve class I alleles that differ beyond exon 2 and exon 3 DRB genes were screened by a first round of sequence analysis, and high resolution typing was carried out for the DRB1 * 01 group that was previously associated with resistance to HIV-1 infection
- Three independent quality control procedures for HLA typing were established to ensure accuracy HLA class I genes and DRB1*01 and DRB1 * 1503 subgroups are typed to the four-digit resolution and subsequently reduced to either a two-digit classification in order to compare
- Overlapping peptides were designed in sequences of 9 amino acid residues overlapping by 8, to span the entire HIV-1 gag polyprotein region. A total of 609 peptides were synthesized. A * 0101 and B * 0702 iTopia kits were purchased from Beckman Coulter and the peptides were screened following protocols provided by the supplier. Once positive binding was identified, affinity and off-rate assays were conducted with the iTopia epitope discovery system. The affinity and off-rate of the peptide binding by the A * 0101 and B * 0702 were determined.
- PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cells
- the challenge in selecting the "right" immunogenic proteins is a major obstacle to the development of cell-mediated vaccines
- the iTopia ® Epitope Discovery System was recently developed by Beckman Coulter to identify, rapidly and reproducibly, epitopes for specific HLA alleles
- the fundamental units of the iTopia ® system are assembled tetramers — consisting of properly folded complexes of specific MHC molecules, beta 2 microglobulin and placeholder peptides — which are bound to both streptavidin- coated microplate wells and a fluorescent-labelled antibody designed to recognize only a properly folded peptide/MHC complex
