P09-19 LB. CTL escape mutations in gag epitopes restricted by protective HLA class I alleles cause substantial reductions in viral replication capacity

Highlights

  • Open AccessCTL escape mutations in gag epitopes restricted by protective HLA class I alleles cause substantial reductions in viral replication capacity

  • CD8+ T cell responses, those targeting Gag epitopes, play a critical role in the control of HIV during early infection, but the capacity of HIV to rapidly escape from such responses can undermine effective CTL-mediated control
