Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Certain human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-B alleles (protective alleles) associate with durable immune control of HIV-1, but with substantial heterogeneity in the level of control. It remains elusive whether viral factors including Nef-mediated immune evasion function diminish protective allele effect on viral control. DESIGN: The naturally occurring non-Ser variant at position 9 of HIV-1 subtype C Nef...
