HLA class I-driven evolution of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtype c proteome: immune escape and viral load.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mutations that confer escape from cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) recognition can sometimes result in lower viral fitness. These mutations can then revert upon transmission to a new host in the absence of CTL-mediated immune selection pressure restricted by t...
