Variability and immunogenicity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 p24 gene quasispecies.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the conserved nature of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gag gene, multiple quasispecies of the p24 gene coexist in HIV-1-infected patients. We cloned and sequenced 31 p24 genes from four HIV-1-infected patients. The intrapatient homology between the p24 genes ranged from 97.1 to 99.1%, whereas the interpatient homology ranged from 91.5 to 93.8%, suggesting a host-specific evolution....
