From: The distribution of CTL epitopes in HIV-1 appears to be random, and similar to that of other proteomes

Example of an epitope map of HIV-1 NEF and its transformed version (black dots). The epitope map was retrieved from http://www.hiv.lanl.gov (Jul 31 2008 version). This specific epitope sequence (an unspecified HXB2 variant) carries 52 predicted epitope precursors, of which 38 are predicted to be epitopes (binding at least one of the 32 MHC class I allele binding predictors).
