Abstract excerpt
Conflicting data have been published concerning the correlation between the length of the second variable region (V2) in the HIV-1 envelope and the biological phenotype of the virus. Here the V2 region length of primary HIV-1 isolates was compared with biological phenotype and coreceptor usage. The V2 region variation was determined by DNA fragment length analysis, virus biological phenotype by the MT-2 cell...
