Abstract excerpt
We have determined the sequence of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vif genes from a cohort of 42 long-term nonprogressors (LTNP) and compared these sequences to those of 8 late progressors. The coding potential of the vif open reading frame directly derived by nested PCR from uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cell DNA was conserved in all 50 individuals. The nucleotide distances between vif...
