Abstract excerpt
We developed a new biological cloning system for HIV-1 isolates using the U87.CD4 cell lines that express different chemokine receptors. We demonstrate that our method is sensitive and specific because the clones isolated had the same coreceptor usage and genotype as viruses of the primary isolate. We evaluated our cloning system by isolating 27 biological clones from two primary HIV-1 R3R5X4 isolates. Three...
