Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an important role in the immune response to HIV during the acute stage of infection, but the effect of CTLs on HIV intrahost genetic diversity is poorly understood. We introduce a model of CTL attack during the acute stage. Assuming this model, we develop a method to sample HIV intrahost genealogies. Using our sampling approach, we characterize the evolutionary forces that...
