Impact of amino acid variations in Gag and protease of HIV type 1 CRF01_AE strains on drug susceptibility of virus to protease inhibitors.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Protease (PR) inhibitors (PIs) were designed against subtype B virus of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), but believed to retain its activity against most of the other subtypes. CRF01_AE PR (AE-PR) contains background ... Read more...

Molecular characterization of a full-length genome of a HIV-2 isolate from India.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: India accounts for 95% of HIV-2 infections in Asia. Molecular epidemiological studies have been performed on HIV-2 partial envelope gene and LTR sequences from isolates in India. Although, a single full-length sequence of an isolate from ... Read more...
