Abstract

Three men from a proven homosexual human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission cluster showed large variation in their clinical course of infection. To evaluate the effect of evolution of the same viral variant in these three patients, we analysed sequence variation in the capsid protein and determined the impact of the observed variation on viral replication fitness in vitro. Viral gag sequences from all three patients contained a mutation at position 242, T242N or T242S, which have been associated with lower virus replication in vitro. Interestingly, HIV-1 variants from patients with a progressive clinical course of infection developed compensatory mutations within the capsid that restored viral fitness, instead of reversion of the T242S mutation. In HIV-1 variants from patient 1, an HLA-B57(+) elite controller, no compensatory mutations emerged during follow-up.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 November 2012.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Journal of General Virology
#6,002
of 6,540 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#154,310
of 198,573 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of General Virology
#25
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,540 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 198,573 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
