Abstract excerpt
Among 1330 patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), 3 showed 1 or 2 amino acid (aa) insertions at position 35 of the HIV-1 protease gene. Protease genes containing aa insertions, either in the presence (ins35G+res.muts, ins35TN+res.muts) or absence (ins35G, ins35TN) of other resistance mutations, were introduced into the wild-type HIV-1 strain NL4-3. The introduction of ins35G and ins35TN...
