We analyzed the evolution of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) env gene in 12 chronically infected individuals who underwent structured treatment interruptions (STIs). Analyses of length variation and of clonal sequences demonstrated highly unpredictable evolution, which may limit the strengthening of HIV-specific immune responses by STIs because of the variability in exposure to viral antigens.
我们分析了12名接受结构化治疗中断(STI)的慢性感染个体中1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)env基因的演变。长度变异分析和克隆序列分析显示出高度不可预测的演变,这可能会限制STI对HIV特异性免疫反应的增强,因为暴露于病毒抗原的变异性。
