HIV-1 Mutants that Escape the Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes are Defective in Viral DNA Integration
2021-08-29
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT HIV-1 replication is durably controlled in certain untreated HIV-1-infected individuals expressing particular human leukocyte antigens (HLA). These HLAs tag infected cells for elimination by presenting specific viral epitopes to CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL). In individuals expressing HLA-B27, CTLs primarily target the capsid protein (CA)-derived KK10 epitope. Selection of CA mutation R264K helps HIV...
