Temporal relationship between V1V2 variation, macrophage replication, and coreceptor adaptation during HIV-1 disease progression

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Specific mutations in VPR and V2 potentially restrict HIV-1 replication in macrophages. Such restriction could potentially limit HIV replication in long-term non-progressors (LTNP), thus accounting for low viral load and delayed progression to AIDS. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether a specific VPR phenotype (truncated versus non-truncated) correlates with disease progression and whether elongated V2...
