Cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses to conserved proteins such as Gag within HIV- or SIV-infected hosts can facilitate partial control of viremia. However, the utility of targeting variable viral proteins by CTL responses is unclear. We studied CTL responses to regulatory and accessory proteins of SIV in pigtail macaques. The regulatory and accessory proteins were the most commonly targeted proteins by CTL responses from pigtail macaques. We identified 2 novel Tat-specific CTL responses that were both restricted by the Mane-A*10 allele. Vital escape at one of the Tat epitopes, KSA10, was slower in comparison to another Tat epitope KVA10. The kinetics of escape of the KSA10 Tat epitope were more similar to an immunodominant KP9 Gag epitope also restricted by Mane-A*10. Our results suggest that some regulatory or accessory CTL epitopes may be useful targets for vaccination against HIV. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
