Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prior abacavir (ABC) or didanosine (ddI) therapy can result in the L74V/I or K65R mutation in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Preexisting K65R may have an impact on the treatment response to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). METHODS: An allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) assay was developed to detect K65R with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.5%. RESULTS: Among baseline plasma...
