Viral mutational escape from CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) is typically considered to be a dichotomous process and uncommon during chronic HIV-1 infection. Ex vivo passaging of HIV-1 from persons with chronic infection, however, revealed the evolution of many fixed substitutions within and around CTL-targeted regions, with an associated increase in replicative capacity. This indicates an evolution of mutations during chronic HIV-1 infection that trade replicative fitness for incomplete evasion of CTLs, or "partial escape."
病毒从 CD8(+)细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞 (CTL) 的突变逃逸通常被认为是一个二分过程,在慢性 HIV-1 感染中并不常见。然而,对慢性感染个体的 HIV-1 进行体外传代培养,揭示了 CTL 靶向区域内和周围的许多固定替代的演变,同时伴随着复制能力的增加。这表明在慢性 HIV-1 感染期间发生了突变进化,这些突变在复制适应性和不完全逃避 CTL 之间进行权衡,或者说是“部分逃逸”。
