Abstract excerpt
Studies in acute human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection indicate viral evolution under CD8 T-cell immune selection pressure, but the effects of ongoing immune pressure on epitope evolution during chronic infection are not well described. In this study, we performed a detailed longitudinal analysis of viral sequence variation within persistently targeted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes in two...
