  • This polymorphism reveals the monophyletic relationship of the majority of haplotypes of a previously paraphyletic clade, E3b1-M35*, that is widespread in Africa and southern Europe. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • We next compared the magnitudes of the clade B and C peptide responses of these 3 peptides to further define the degree of cross-clade recognition of these targeted CD4+ peptides. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
  • Our data have also confirmed that at least for some epitopes, clade C infected individuals can mount an IFN-γ CD4+ T cell response of equal magnitude against both the clade B and C sequences. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
  • The relative lack of responses in proteins other than Gag may also be due to the use of the consensus clade C sequence which could potentially limit our detection of antigen specific CD4+ T cell epitopes to proteins that are more variable. —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
  • There was a significant augmentation in the detection of CD8+ T cell epitopes in clade B infection using autologous HIV-1 peptides in comparison to the consensus sequence —  PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
