HLA-Associated Clinical Progression Correlates with Epitope Reversion Rates in Early Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
20 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can evade immunity shortly after transmission to a new host but the clinical significance of this early viral adaptation in HIV infection is not clear. We present an analysis of sequence variation from a longitudinal cohort study of HIV adaptation in 189 acute seroconverters followed for up to 3 years. We measured the rates of variation within well-defined epitopes to...
