Abstract

The accumulation of HIV-1 escape mutations affects HIV-1 control by HIV-1-specific T cells. Some of these mutations can elicit escape mutant-specific T cells, but it still remains unclear whether they can suppress the replication of HIV-1 mutants. It is known that HLA-B*52:01-restricted RI8 (Gag 275 to 282; RMYSPTSI) is a protective T cell epitope in HIV-1 subtype B-infected Japanese individuals, though 3 Gag280A/S/V mutations are found in 26% of them. Gag280S and Gag280A were HLA-B*52:01-associated mutations, whereas Gag280V was not, implying a different mechanism for the accumulation of Gag280 mutations. In this study, we investigated the coevolution of HIV-1 with RI8-specific T cells and suppression of HIV-1 replication by its escape mutant-specific T cells both in vitro and in vivo HLA-B*52:01+ individuals infected with Gag280A/S mutant viruses failed to elicit these mutant epitope-specific T cells, whereas those with the Gag280V mutant one effectively elicited RI8-6V mutant-specific T cells. These RI8-6V-specific T cells suppressed the replication of Gag280V virus and selected wild-type virus, suggesting a mechanism affording no accumulation of the Gag280V mutation in the HLA-B*52:01+ individuals. The responders to wild-ty...Continue Reading
