Abstract excerpt
In human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), an interaction exists between the in vivo evolution of Gag protein and protease to escape from antiretroviral drug selective pressure. Therefore, it was decided to develop a genotypic assay for the amplification and sequencing of HIV-1 gag and protease. As the HIV-1 pandemic is characterised by a large genetic diversity, the assay developed was evaluated on a panel...
