Antisense-derived HIV-1 cryptic epitopes are not major drivers of viral evolution during the acute phase of infection

While prior studies have demonstrated that CD8 T cell responses to cryptic epitopes (CE) are readily detectable during HIV-1 infection, their ability to drive escape mutations following acute infection is unknown. We predicted 66 CE in a Zambian acute infection cohort based on escape mutations occur...
