    ..Despite this, the magnitude of this population bottleneck is unclear...

    Genetics 174:1441-53. 2006
    ..This suggests the presence of deleterious mutations. We therefore conclude that intrahost HIV-1 evolution in envelope is dominated by purifying selection against low-frequency deleterious mutations that do not reach fixation...

    J Virol 79:13953-62. 2005
    ..In donors who are themselves controlling an early, acute infection, the precise timing of onward transmission is a crucial determinant of the viral variants available to compose the inoculum...

    J Virol 79:9363-6. 2005
    ..Using this approach, we revealed a pattern of A*0201-driven escape within patients, followed by the sustained transmission of these escape variants among patients irrespective of their HLA type...

    ..We suggest that CTLs kill a large number of infected cells (about 10(7)) per day but are not responsible for the majority of infected cell death...
