In light of the importance of virus-specific CTL in the control of the spread of the AIDS virus, it will be important to assess the generation of these effector cell responses in trials of novel vaccine strategies for the prevention of AIDS virus infections. To facilitate such studies in the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)/macaque model for AIDS, we have defined a rhesus monkey SIVmac CTL epitope carboxy terminus to both the CD4-binding and V4 regions of the envelope glycoprotein. We also used one-dimensional isoelectric focusing to characterize the MHC class I molecule of the rhesus monkey that binds this 9-amino-acid SIVmac envelope fragment. Cloning and sequencing of the cDNA encoding this rhesus monkey MHC class I molecule demonstrated that it is a newly described HLA-B homologue, Mamu-B*01. The definition of this viral CTL epitope and its restricting MHC class I molecule will facilitate the use of the SIVmac/rhesus monkey model for studies of envelope-based vaccine strategies for the prevention of AIDS.

D013602 T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS.
