Abstract excerpt
We investigated sequence variation in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) env gene region that encodes the fourth disulfide-bonded domain of the external membrane glycoprotein, gp120, among three HIV-1 isolates from patients with AIDS-related neurologic disease. The sequences of HIV-1 isolated directly from brain tissue, blood cells, and in vitro cell cultures were compared. The results suggest that...
