Table 1. Characteristics of patients included in the study.
Figure 1. Whisker-Boxplots showing: (a) Number of best-defined CTL epitopes predicted according to the HLA-I haplotype of patients; (b) Proportion (%) of mutated CTL epitopes in autologous sequences obtained from the viral reservoir; (c) ratio of mutated amino acids (mutated amino acids/total amino acids) per individual CTL epitope. p-values for the comparisons between EC and TX groups of patients (Mann-Whitney U test) are shown.

Figure 2. Proportion (%) of autologous mutated CTL epitopes presented by HLA-I alleles that are shared between EC (white bars) and TX (grey bars) groups of patients. No significant differences (chi-square test) were found in the proportion of autologous mutated CTL epitopes between EC and TX groups.

Figure 3. Whisker-Boxplots showing: (a) Proportion (%) of escape mutations within mutated CTL epitopes in EC and TX patients. (b) Proportion (%) of mutated CTL epitopes with a significant impact in reducing HLA recognition in EC and TX patients. p-values for the comparison between groups (Mann-Whitney U test) are shown.
