Abstract excerpt
We analyzed virus sequences in two monkeys infected with SIVmac239 and two monkeys infected with SHIVnef that maintained high, persisting viral loads. Sequence changes were observed consistently at four loci in all four animals: a single nucleotide change in the Lys-tRNA primer binding site in the 5' long terminal repeat; two nucleotide changes that resulted in two amino acid changes in the pol gene product; and...
