Variability of HIV infections.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Mar 1992

Nowak M A

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation is the hallmark of infections with lentiviruses in general and the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV-1, HIV-2) in particular. This article reviews both experimental evidence for the variability of the HIV genome during the course of an individual infection and mathematical models that outline the potential importance of antigenic variation as a major factor to drive disease progression. The...
