Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC‐I)‐restricted CD8+cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses are crucial for the control of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication. In particular, Gag‐specific CTL responses have been shown to exert strong suppressive pressure on HIV/SIV replication. Additionally, association of Vif‐specific CTL frequencies within vitroanti‐SIV efficacy has been suggested recently. Host MHC‐I genotypes could affect the immunodominance patterns of these potent CTL responses. Here, Gag‐ and Vif‐specific CTL responses during primary SIVmac239 infection were examined in three groups of Burmese rhesus macaques, each group having a different MHC‐I haplotype. The first group of four macaques, which possessed the MHC‐I haplotype90‐010‐Ie, did not show Gag‐ or Vif‐specific CTL responses. However, Nef‐specific CTL responses were elicited, suggesting that primary SIV infection does not induce predominant CTL responses specific for Gag/Vif epitopes restricted by90‐010‐Ie‐derived MHC‐I molecules. In contrast, Gag‐ and Vif‐specific CTL responses were induced in the second group of two89‐075‐Iw‐positive animals and the third group of two91‐010‐Is‐positive animals. Considering the potential of prophylactic vaccination to affect CTL immunodominance post‐viral exposure, these groups of macaques would be useful for evaluation of vaccine antigen‐specific CTL efficacy against SIV infection.
