Clade-Specific Evolution Mediated by HLA-B*57/5801 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Clade A1 p24
Bibliographic record
Abstract
HLA-B*57-mediated selection pressure leads to a typical escape pathway in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) CD8 epitopes such as TW10. Whether this T242N pathway is shared by all clades remains unknown. We therefore assessed the nature of HLA-B*57 selection in a large, observational Kenyan cohort where clades A1 and D predominate. While T242N was ubiquitous in clade D HLA-B*57(+) subjects, this mutation was rare (15%) in clade A1. Instead, P243T and I247L were selected by clade A1-infected HLA-B*57 subjects but not by HLA-B*5801(+) subjects. Our data suggest that clade A1 consensus proline at Gag residue 243 might represent an inherent block to T242N escape in clade A1. We confirmed immunologically that P243T and I247L likely represent escape mutations. HLA-B*57 evolution also differed between clades in the KF11 and IW9 epitopes. A better understanding of clade-specific evolution is important for the development of HIV vaccines in regions with multiple clades.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
