Subtype-Specific Sequence Variation of the HIV Type 1 Long Terminal Repeat and Primer-Binding Site
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
We studied sequence differences in regulatory elements of the long terminal repeat (LTR) and primer-binding site (PBS) among various human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtypes. Phylogenetic sequence analysis of a fragment of 729 base pairs (bp) covering the Gag-coding region for half of p24 and all of p17 revealed the gag subtype of all 60 viruses included in the study: A (n = 20), B (n = 12), C (n =...
