OBJECTIVES: To determine whether increased sequence variation occurs in regions of endogenous HIV-1 targeted by HIV-1-specific CD4 T cells. The presence of increased variation would be suggestive of immune evasion by HIV-1. DESIGN: We performed a cross-sectional study of untreated HIV-1-infected subjects measuring HIV-1-specific interferon (IFN)-gamma-secreting CD4 T-cell responses against epitopes in Gag p17 and...
