Abstract
ABSTRACT
Studies on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) diversity are critical for understanding viral pathogenesis and the emergence of immune escape variants and for design of vaccine strategies. To investigate HIV-1 population genetics, we used single-genome sequencing to obtain
pro-pol
and
env
sequences from longitudinal samples (
n
= 93) from 14 acutely or recently infected patients. The first available sample after infection for 12/14 patients revealed HIV-1 populations with low genetic diversity, consistent with transmission or outgrowth of a single variant. In contrast, two patients showed high diversity and coexistence of distinct virus populations in samples collected days after a nonreactive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or indeterminate Western blot, consistent with transmission or outgrowth of multiple variants. Comparison of PR and RT sequences from the first sample for all patients with the consensus subgroup B sequence revealed that nearly all nonsynonymous differences were confined to identified cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes. For HLA-typed patients, mutations compared to the consensus in transmitted variants were found in epitopes that would not be recognized by the patient's major histocompatibility complex type. Reversion of transmitted mutations was rarely seen over the study interval (up to 5 years). These data indicate that acute subtype B HIV-1 infection usually results from transmission or outgrowth of single viral variants carrying mutations in CTL epitopes that were selected prior to transmission either in the donor or in a previous donor and that reversion of these mutations can be very slow. These results have important implications for vaccine strategies because they imply that some HLA alleles could be compromised in newly acquired HIV infections.
