Abstract excerpt
Mutation in the V3 loop of HIV-1 gp120 could affect syncytium formation, virus infectivity and neutralization. To acquire more information of the V3 loop mutation, we analyzed amino acid sequences of the V3 loop of 24504 isolates from most HIV-1 clades (including A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H clades). The consensus sequence of the V3 loop of each subtype with the highest frequency emerging on each position is...
