The rapid spread of recombinants during a natural in vitro infection with two human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains.
We quantified a population of recombinants in a natural in vitro infection, using wild-type viruses without any pressure. It was found that recombinants emerged early after infection and constituted more than 20% of the whole proviral population 15 days after infection. Furthermore, recombinants were isolated as infectious viruses by simple limiting dilution. These results imply that, in additi...
متن کاملResistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 intersubtype recombinants predominate in the AIDS epidemic in Cameroon.
A broad and rapidly changing HIV Type 1 (HIV-1) diversity has been reported from different populations in Cameroon since the early epidemic. Our understanding of HIV-1 dynamics can be improved by a systematic surveillance in Cameroon as accessibility and use of antiretroviral drugs increase. To contribute to this, we genotyped 30 samples by sequencing the protease and reverse transcriptase (pro...
متن کاملQuantification Analysis of Dot Blot Assays for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and 2 Antibodies
Objective Dot Blot (DB) assay provides highly specific results, but usually not reliable for quantification of antibody production. The need for a more objective DB assay to provide a better definition of the immune status, against HIV antigens, promoted this study to be done to develop a quantitative DB assay. Material and Methods Dot blot (DB) strips for antibodies directed to human immuno...
متن کاملReplication Characteristics of Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 (HSV-1) Recombinants in 3 Types of Tissue Cultures
A complication in the analysis of the role of ICP34.5 gene in the herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) lifecycle is the presence of overlapping antisense gene, open reading frame P (ORF P), which is also deleted in HSV-1 ICP34.5 negative mutants. A HSV-1 wild type strain (17+) ICP34.5/ORF P deletion mutant (1716) is totally avirulent in animal models and impaired in a number of in vitro function...
