Abstract excerpt
Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV/SIV) exhibit enormous sequence heterogeneity within each infected host. Here, we use ultradeep pyrosequencing to create a comprehensive picture of CD8(+) T-lymphocyte (CD8-TL) escape in SIV-infected macaques, revealing a previously undetected complex pattern of viral variants. This increased sensitivity enabled the detection of acute CD8-TL escape as early as 17 days...
