The route of HIV escape from immune response targeting multiple sites is determined by the cost-benefit tradeoff of escape mutations.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are a major factor in the control of HIV replication. CTL arise in acute infection, causing escape mutations to spread rapidly through the population of infected cells. As a result, the virus develops partial resistance to the immune response. The factors controlling th...
