Initial rate at which a mutant escaping one immune response takes over the viral quasispecies. We use equation 30 to predict the escape rate as a function of the breadth of the immune response, n, for a wild-type replication rate of ρ = 1 day−1. Note that these results are independent of the functions F(T) and G(Ei,V) in equations 7a and b. The parameters are as described in Table 1.
