HIV-1 Replication Fitness of HLA-B*57/58:01 CTL Escape Variants Is Restored by the Accumulation of Compensatory Mutations in Gag

Expression of HLA-B*57 and the closely related HLA-B*58:01 are associated with prolonged survival after HIV-1 infection. However, large differences in disease course are observed among HLA-B*57/58:01 patients. Escape mutations in CTL epitopes restricted by these HLA alleles come at a fitness cost an...
