Influence of recombination on acquisition and reversion of immune escape and compensatory mutations in HIV-1
Following transmission, HIV-1 adapts in the new host by acquiring mutations that allow it to escape from the host immune response at multiple epitopes. It also reverts mutations associated with epitopes targeted in the transmitting host but not in the new host. Moreover, escape mutations are often a...
