Abstract
|
Influenza A viruses accumulate amino acid substitutions in cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes, allowing these viruses to escape from CTL immunity. The arginine-to-glycine substitution at position 384 of the viral nucleoprotein is associated with escape from CTLs. Introduction of the R384G substitution in the nucleoprotein gene segment of influenza virus A/Hong Kong/2/68 by site-directed mutagenesis was detrimental to viral fitness. Introduction of one of the comutations associated with R384G, E375G, partially restored viral fitness and nucleoprotein functionality. We hypothesized that influenza A viruses need to overcome functional constraints to accumulate mutations in CTL epitopes and escape from CTLs.
