Impact of HLA-B*81-Associated Mutations in HIV-1 Gag on Viral Replication Capacity
12 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 attenuation resulting from immune escape mutations selected in Gag may contribute to slower disease progression in HIV-1-infected individuals expressing certain HLA class I alleles. We previously showed that the protective allele HLA-B*81 and the HLA-B*81-selected Gag T186S mutation are strongly associated with a lower viral replication capacity of recombinant viruses encoding Gag-protease derived from...
