Identification of a major restriction in HIV-1 intersubtype recombination
14 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Genetic recombination increases diversity in HIV-1 populations, thereby allowing variants to escape from host immunity or antiviral therapies. In addition to the currently described nine subtypes of HIV-1, many of the circulating strains are intersubtype recombinants. In this study, we determined the recombination rate between two HIV-1 subtype C viruses and between a subtype B virus and a subtype C virus during...
