X Abstract

HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) is subject to both neutralizing antibody (NAb) and CD8 T cell (CTL) immune pressure. We studied the reversion of Env CTL escape mutant virus to wild-type and the relationship between the reversion of CTL mutations with N-linked glycosylation site (NLGS)-driven NAb escape in pigtailed macaques. Env CTL mutations either did not revert to wild type or only transiently reverted 5-7 weeks after infection. CTL escape mutant reversion was coincident, on the same viral clones, with loss of NLGS mutations. At one site studied, both CTL and NLGS mutations were needed to confer NAb escape. We conclude CTL and NAb escape within Env can be tightly linked, suggesting opportunities to induce effective multi-component, anti-Env immunity.
