Abstract excerpt
Identification of CD8+ T lymphocyte (CTL) escape mutations that compromise the pathogenic functions of the Nef protein may be relevant for an HIV-1 attenuation-based vaccine. Previously, HLA-associated mutations 102H, 105R, 108D, and 199Y were individually statistically associated with decreased Nef-mediated HLA-I downregulation ability in a cohort of 298 HIV-1 subtype C infected individuals. In the present...
