Evolution of Lamivudine Resistance in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-Infected Individuals: the Relative Roles of Drift and Selection
15 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) rapidly develops resistance to lamivudine during monotherapy, typically resulting in the appearance at position 184 in reverse transcriptase (RT) of isoleucine instead of the wild-type methionine (M184I) early in therapy, which is later replaced by valine (M184V). M184V reduces viral susceptibility to drug in vitro by approximately 100-fold, but also results in a lower...
