Amino Acid Substitutions in Gag Protein at Non-cleavage Sites Are Indispensable for the Development of a High Multitude of HIV-1 Resistance against Protease Inhibitors
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Amino acid substitutions in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag cleavage sites have been identified in HIV-1 isolated from patients with AIDS failing chemotherapy containing protease inhibitors (PIs). However, a number of highly PI-resistant HIV-1 variants lack cleavage site amino acid substitutions. In this study we identified multiple novel amino acid substitutions including L75R, H219Q,...
