Certain HIV-1 infected humans that do not progress to AIDS have been documented to share particular MHC class I alleles that appear to correlate with long-term survival. HIV-1-infected chimpanzees are relatively resistant to progression to AIDS. Out of a group of 10 chimpanzees with CTL activity and nonprogressive HIV-1 infection, 2 animals with prominent cytolytic CD3+CD8+ T cell responses to HIV-1 Ags were studied in detail. Characterization of these CTL revealed that they contained the granzymes A and B, T cell intracellular Ag-1, and perforin and induced calcium-dependent cytolysis that correlated with the presence of apoptotic nuclei in target cells. These CTL responses were directed against two gagpeptides, which were found to be identical to previously described epitopes recognized in the context of HLA-B27 and HLA-B57 molecules. The latter two restriction elements occur with increased frequency in human long-term survivor cohorts. Phylogenetic comparisons revealed that the chimpanzee restriction elements, Patr-B*02and -B*03, described here do not show any obvious similarity with the HLA-B*27 and -B*57 alleles, suggesting that CTL responses to HIV-1 in distinct primate species may be controlled by different types of HLA-B-like molecules. The CTL responses in these two chimpanzees are directed, however, against highly conserved epitopes mapping across the majority of HIV-1 clades.
