Determinants of HIV-1 Mutational Escape From Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes

CD8+ class I–restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) usually incompletely suppress HIV-1 in vivo, and while analogous partial suppression induces antiretroviral drug-resistance mutations, epitope escape mutations are inconsistently observed. However, escape mutation depends on the net balance of s...
