Abstract
The recognition of pathogen‐derived peptides by T lymphocytes is the cornerstone of adaptive immunity, whereby intracellular antigens are degraded in the cytosol and short peptides assemble with class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules in the ER. These peptide‐HLA complexes egress to the cell surface and are scrutinized by cytotoxic CD8+ T‐cells leading to the eradication of the infected cell. Here, naturally presented HLA‐B*57:01 bound peptides derived from the envelope protein of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIVenv) are identified. HIVenv peptides are present at a very small percentage of the overall HLA‐B*57:01 peptidome (<0.1%) and both native and posttranslationally modified..
