Several HLA alleles are associated with attenuated human immunodeficiency virus disease
progression. We explored the relationship between the expression of particular major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I alleles and viremia in simian immunodeficiency
virus SIVmac239-infected macaques. Of the common MHC class I alleles, animals that
expressed Mamu-A* 01 exhibited the best control of viral replication.

We explored the relationship between the expression of particular major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I alleles and viremia in simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239-infected macaques. Of the common MHC class I alleles, animals that expressed Mamu-A*01 exhibited the best control of viral replication.
