Abstract excerpt
Viral variation has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection, and is an important consideration in vaccine design. During the course of an infection, isolates with sequence changes in CD8 T-cell and B-cell epitopes arise. To determine whether sequence variation within the V3 loop of HIV-1 gp120 affects HLA-DR beta 1*0101-restricted CD4 T-cell...
