A complex of Mamu-B*17 has been crystallized and analyzed with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)mac239.

Structures of eight different immunodominant simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-derived cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope peptides are anchor residues used by Mamu-B*17 that might contribute to its protective effect in SIV-infected rhesus macaques.

These data are consistent with rhesus cytomegalovirus Rh178 blocking protein translation of MHC-I heavy chains at a step prior to the start of translocation, thereby downregulating MHC-I at a very early stage of translation.

Two alleles expressed with high frequency in Chinese rhesus macaques, Mamu-A1*02601 and Mamu-B*08301 were characterized. These Mamu alleles share peptide-binding characteristics with the HLA-A2 and HLA-A3 supertypes, respectively.

remarkable similarity of the peptide-binding motifs and repertoires for Mamu-B*08 and HLA-B*2705 suggests that the nature of the peptide bound by the MHC class I molecule may play an important role in control of immunodeficiency virus replication
