Variant Details

Showing 1 of 7 variants.

Variant ID.	`4399`
Epitope Seq.	`QAISPRTLNAW`
Variant Seq.	`QplSPRTLNAW`
Mutations	A/P I/L
Epitope Location	A2P I3L
HXB2 Location	A146P I147L
Mutation Type	DR: diminished response E: escape documented in this paper OV: observed variant RCR: replicative capacity reduced
Epitope Subtype	B
Variant Subtype	B
Method	CD8 T-cell Elispot - IFNy, Longitudinal study, Other, Relative replication capacity assay, Sequence
Note	Double mutant, QplSPRTLNAW, was seen in patient PIC1362 769 DPS (days post symptoms) onwards, and was an escape and with some fitness loss. In patient 1349, it was seen after 342 DPS. Ex vivo relative fitness was decreased for this double variant though the single variant (not found in autologous sequences), A146P had great fitness decrease, suggesting that I147L reverses this loss of fitness at position 2. The two mutations are linked.
