Expressed by r91003 (progressor), r01027 (controller), r00032 (EC), and r02019 (EC).
Expressed by r91003 (progressor) and r01027 (controller).
Expressed by r00032 (EC).
Substitutions at position 67 in Env were previously detected in 33 of 35 SIV-infected macaques regardless of MHC class I genotype (60).
This number includes concomitant changes in the overlapping open reading frame for Vpr (see Fig. S1C in the supplemental material).
