Individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype C infrequently harbour X4 viruses. We studied R5 and X4 biological clones generated from HIV-1 subtype C-infected individuals. All subtype C R5 viruses demonstrated slower profiles of replication on CD4(+) lymphocytes in comparison to subtype B viruses, whereas subtype C X4 viruses replicated with comparable efficiency to subtype B X4...
