RIP version 2.0 is now available. In this version the query sequence is automatically aligned to a reference set. The reference set can be chosen and modified by the user or inserted as in the old version 1. Additionally, there are now four different ways of plotting the window values. RIP 2.0 produces three output files: a graphical output, a tabular output of each position, and the resulting automatic alignment. 30 September 2004
The CTL and Helper sections of the HCV Immunology database are now online! 13 September 2004

HLA Typing and Epitope Mapping
Tools for immunologists:
- Epilign Align a new epitope to our HIV protein reference alignments.
- PeptGen Create maps of overlapping peptides on proteins to aid in peptide design for mapping epitopes. Consensus sequences for all HIV subtypes for all proteins are available here.
- Motif Scan Scans protein sequences for possible epitopes based on HLA binding motifs.
- HIV/SIV Sequence Locator Tool (formerly HXB2 Numbering Engine) Quickly identify epitope protein positions on the reference strain HXB2.
- ELF Epitope Location Finder tool, help identify potential CTL epitopes in reactive proteins and protein fragments.
Subtype and M group consensus and ancestral sequences for reagent development.
Sequence tools All tools for working with sequence fragments.

Background

The HIV Molecular Immunology Database is an annotated, searchable collection of HIV-1 cytotoxic and helper T-cell epitopes and antibody binding sites. These data are also printed in the HIV Molecular Immunology compendium which is updated yearly and provided free of charge to scientific researchers (click here to request a printed copy). The goal of this database is to provide a comprehensive listing of defined HIV epitopes.

Compendium editors: Bette Korber, Christian Brander, Barton F. Haynes, Richard Koup, Carla Kuiken, John P. Moore, Bruce D. Walker, and David I. Watkins. Publisher: Los Alamos National Laboratory: Theoretical Biology and Biophysics, Los Alamos, New Mexico.

We are grateful to the web editors who help us with suggestions to improve this website.

The publication of the HIV Molecular Immunology Compendium is funded by the Division of AIDS, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, through an interagency agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy. The project officer is James Bradac.
