Analysis of Full-Length Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Genome Reveals a Variable Spectrum of Subtypes B and F Recombinants in São Paulo, Brazil
1 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Recombination is one of the major mechanisms contributing to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variability. Analysis of pol gene sequences of 215 HIV-1 samples from São Paulo, Brazil classified 189 sequences as subtype B (87.9%), 8 sequences as subtype F (3.7%), and 18 sequences (8.4%) as B/F recombinants. After the analysis of the pol gene, a subset of six recombinant samples composed of sequences with...
