High Frequency of Recombinant Genomes in HIV Type 1 Samples from Brazilian Southeastern and Southern Regions
20 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
We describe the genetic variability of HIV-1 subtypes and recombinant genomes in samples from southeastern and southern Brazilian regions. Phylogenetic analysis of a subset of 34 samples (8F, 7B, 7C, 2D, 1A, and 9 B" variant) based on the DNA sequencing of the env gp120 and gp41, gag p17, and nef regions confirmed the presence of nine (26.5%) potentially HIV-1 recombinant genomes. From the eight C2-V3 gp120...
