Abstract excerpt
The role of epitope-specific TCR repertoire diversity in the control of HIV-1 viremia is unknown. Further analysis at the clonotype level is important for understanding the structural aspects of the HIV-1 specific repertoire that directly relate to CTL function and ability to suppress viral replication. In this study, we performed in-depth analysis of T cell clonotypes directed against a dominantly recognized HLA...
