Frequent Intrapatient Recombination between Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 R5 and X4 Envelopes: Implications for Coreceptor Switch
25 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Emergence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) populations that switch or broaden coreceptor usage from CCR5 to CXCR4 is intimately coupled to CD4+ cell depletion and disease progression toward AIDS. To better understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the coreceptor switch, we determined the nucleotide sequences of 253 V1 to V3 env clones from 27 sequential HIV-1 subtype B isolates from four...
