The transmitted HIV-1 subtype C: characterization of the transmitted/founder full-length virus genome and the influence of early immune selective pressure on virus replication

Includes bibliographical references. === The identification of targets of early immune responses associated with control of HIV-1 infection will inform immunogen design for vaccine interventions. The early evolution of transmitted/founder subtype C virus sequences was investigated to determine the l...
