Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Given the expanding antiretroviral therapy, inexpensive and fast HIV drug resistance assays are urgently needed. In this view, we have developed a novel phenotypic resistance test for HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PIs) based on recombinant expression of patient-derived HIV PR in Escherichia coli and subsequent enzymatic testing in a fluorescent readout. OBJECTIVES: To facilitate and expedite the test...
