METHOD TO DESIGN AND USES OF OVERLAPPING PEPTIDES FOR MONITORING T-CELL RESPONSES IN HIV PATIENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for designing a set of overlapping immunogenic peptides of a variable antigen, set of overlapping immunogenic peptides obtained and uses thereof, in particular for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The present invention relates also to a sub-population of CD8 T cells associated with the non-progressive status in HIV-infected subjects.
