Subcompartmentalization of HIV-1 Quasispecies between Seminal Cells and Seminal Plasma Indicates Their Origin in Distinct Genital Tissues
20 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
The mononuclear cells and plasma components of semen from HIV-infected subjects have been shown to contain HIV-1. However, there is very little information as to whether distinct HIV-1 population are present in these two seminal compartments or as to their tissue of origin.
