We reported earlier that synthetic peptides corresponding to highly conserved regions in the envelope protein gp160 of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), in particular an 11-amino acid sequence (peptide 104) from the first conserved region at the ammo-terminus, were capable of inducing strong HIV-specific T-cell proliferative responses in several inbred mouse strains as well as in outbred Rhesus monkeys. We have now obtained evidence of the presence of significant levels of proliferative response to peptide 104 in 7 of 9 chimpanzees chronically infected with HIV-1 (p≤ 0.05) and 8 of 17 HIV+individuals (p≤ 0.001). Further, four other conserved HIV envelope-derived peptides, identified previously in our murine and Rhesus monkey model systems, were widely recognized as T-cell epitopes in both chimpanzees and humans infected with HIV-1. In none of the infected subjects did peripheral blood mononuclear cells show proliferative responses to unrelated control peptides. Also, neither the control normal chimpanzees nor HIV-seronegative individuals showed proliferative responses to the conserved peptides. With respect to the humoral responses, serum samples from none of the chimpanzees showed reactivity with any of the conserved peptides, and only low levels of antibody responses against peptide 104 were observed in 3 of the 17 patients (p> 0.05). Importantly, three of the conserved envelope-derived peptides, including peptide 104, overlap with sequences that were reported in the literature to be epitopes for virus-induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes in asymptomatic HIV+individuals. These observations, together with our results in multiple animal models and humans, establish that these conserved HIV envelope-derived peptides, particularly peptide 104, are significant T-cell epitopes with potential usefulness for induction of HIV-specific cell-mediated immune responses in humans.
