Abstract

HLA-restricted Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes that are capable of suppressing HIV replication exert a strong pressure on the virus favoring the selection of escape mutations. Protective HLA molecules drive the selection of escape mutants that reduce viral replicative capacity. Transmission of viruses with [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]<br />18th Symposium on Infections in the Immunocompromised Host
