Vaccine-based control of the replication of a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), SIVmac239, in macaques has recently been shown. In the process of the control, a mutant virus escaping from epitope-specific cytotoxicT-lymphocyte (CTL) responses was rapidly selected and contained. In this study, we show that the wild-type virus appeared and became predominant in the absence of the epitope-specific CTL after inoculation of naive macaques with a molecular clone DNA of the CTL escape mutant SIV. This is the first report describing reversion in vivo from an inoculated, molecular proviral DNA clone of immunodeficiency virus with a CTL escape mutation.
