Table 3 Frequently targeted Pol CTL epitopes and their predicted HLA alleles

From: Deep sequencing of the HIV-1 polymerase gene for characterisation of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitopes during early and chronic disease stages

  1. HLA alleles in boldface are those that have been identified (reported) in South Africa or southern Africa [11, 28,29,30]. Alleles underlined are those that were reported to be protective [11, 28, 29, 49, 50]. PR = protease; RT = reverse transcriptase; IN = integrase; HLA = human leukocyte antigen
