Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that APOBEC-mediated mutations in HIV CD8 T-cell epitopes generally reduce recognition by CD8 T cells. Here, we examined this effect in the context of histocompatibility-linked leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles differentially associated with disease progression rates. For HLA-B57-restricted epitopes, APOBEC mutations generally diminished CD8 T cell recognition. Conversely, recognition of...
