Abstract
Peptides which can induce specific CTLs for HIV, DNAs encoding for the peptides and medicaments for preventing and/or treating HIV comprising the peptides are provided. According to the present invention, peptides carrying novel CTL epitopes derived from HIV Pol or Env proteins are provided. These peptides can bind to HLA-A11, particularly HLA-A*1101 which is frequently encountered in Japanese people and induce HIV-specific cytotoxic T cells.
Claims3
A peptide selected from the group of peptides consisting of the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 to SEQ ID NO:
- 7 wherein said peptide can induce a cytotoxic CTL targeting to a HIV infected cell.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
