Changes in Mitochondrial DNA as a Marker of Nucleoside Toxicity in HIV-Infected Patients

TL;DR: Symptomatic hyperlactatemia was associated with marked reductions in the ratios of mitochondrial to nuclear DNA, which, during therapy, averaged 68 percent lower than those of non-HIV-infected controls and 43 percent lower Than those of HIV- infected asymptomatic patients never treated with antiretroviral drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation of HIV-1 to human leukocyte antigen class I

TL;DR: This process of viral adaptation may dismantle the well-established HLA associations with control of HIV infection that are linked to the availability of key epitopes, and highlights the challenge for a vaccine to keep pace with the changing immunological landscape presented by HIV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole genome deep sequencing of HIV-1 reveals the impact of early minor variants upon immune recognition during acute infection

TL;DR: It is concluded that the early control of HIV-1 replication by immunodominant CD8+ T cell responses may be substantially influenced by rapid, low frequency viral adaptations not detected by conventional sequencing approaches, which warrants further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of HLA-C Expression Level on HIV Control

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increasing surface expression of HLA-C is associated with reduced viral load and reduced rate of progression to low CD4+ T cell counts in African and European Americans.
