Evidence of HIV-1 adaptation to host HLA alleles following chimp-to-human transmission

Table 2 Sequence data for the regions predicted to have potential HLA binding peptides

HLA allele	Anchor residue motif¹	Predicted HLA binding regions
A*0201	.[AILTVM]...... [AILTVM]	395 codons
A*6801	[AILTVM]...... [RK].	345 codons
B*2705	.[RK]...... [LFYRKHMI].	148 codons

¹ The anchor residue motifs were predicted from HLA-peptide structural conformations in PREDEP, residues in square brackets are the most preferred at the specific anchor site and the dots represent any other amino acid.
