Abstract:

We studied intra-host viral evolution during T20 treatment during advanced HIV disease. We examined clones from 9 patients with incomplete viral suppression on T20, and who interrupted T20 while remaining on background antiretrovirals. Clones were sequenced from gp41 and gp120 at three time points: pre-T20, post-T20 failure and post-T20 interruption. To test the hypothesis of dominant selective pressure simultaneously in gp41 and gp120 across patients, we extended the Bayesian hierarchical phylogenetic model to a two-way ANOVA design. The first dimension is across patients and the second is across gene regions. The hierarchical prior on patient trees can be thought of as a two-way contingency table with each cell having multinomial probabilities under a log linear formulation. This model can also be used for Bayesian outlier detection.
