Peptides which can induce specific CTLs for HIV, DNAs encoding for the
peptides and medicaments for preventing and/or treating HIV comprising the
peptides are provided. According to the present invention, peptides
carrying novel CTL epitopes derived from HIV Pol or Env proteins are
provided. These peptides can bind to HLA-A11, particularly HLA-A*1101
which is frequently encountered in Japanese people and induce HIV-specific
cytotoxic T cells.
