Abstract excerpt
Most efforts to characterize sequence variation of HIV isolates has been directed toward the structural envelope gene. Few studies have evaluated the sequence variability of auxiliary genes such as nef. In this study 41 new HIV-1 strains, representing the majority of the described envelope subtypes of HIV-1 (A to H), were genetically characterized in the nef region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 34 strains...
