Envelope variants from women recently infected with clade A human immunodeficiency virus type 1 confer distinct phenotypes that are discerned by competition and neutralization experiments.

Abstract excerpt

Women infected with clade A human immunodeficiency virus type 1 harbor a virus population that is genetically diverse in the envelope gene, a fact that contrasts with the homogeneous virus population identified in newly infected men. It is not known whether viral genetic diversity at this early stage of infection is manifested as phenotypic diversity. This is a significant question because phenotypic diversity in...
