Abstract excerpt
Nelfinavir (NFV) is a currently available HIV-1 protease (PR) inhibitor. Patients in whom NFV treatment has failed predominantly carry D30N mutants of HIV-1 PRs if they have been infected with the subtype B virus. In contrast, N88S mutants of HIV-1 PRs predominantly emerge in patients in whom NFV treatment has failed and who carry the CRF01_AE virus. Both D30N and N88S confer resistance against NFV. However, it...
