Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of HIV-1 escape mutations affects HIV-1 control by HIV-1-specific T cells. Some of these mutations can elicit escape mutant-specific T cells, but it still remains unclear whether they can suppress the replication of HIV-1 mutants. It is known that HLA-B*52:01-restricted RI8 (Gag 275 to 282; RMYSPTSI) is a protective T cell epitope in HIV-1 subtype B-infected Japanese individuals, though 3...
