Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 group O strains have been described as highly divergent, compared with the majority of the viruses classified in group M. To study the diversity and genetic characteristics of group O, we have sequenced the accessory genes of 7 isolates. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences for Vif, Vpr, Tat, Vpu, and Rev indicate that most of the functional domains of these proteins,...
