Molecular Characterization of the HIV Type 1 <i>vpr</i> Gene in Infected Chinese Former Blood/Plasma Donors at Different Stages of Diseases
26 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 vpr regions were PCR amplified and sequenced from eight long-term nonprogressors' (LTNP) and seven AIDS patients' DNA samples of a cohort of HIV-1-infected Chinese plasma/blood donors (PBDs). Sequence analysis revealed that the patients' HIV-1 vpr sequences belong to HIV-1 subtype B and there were no differences in the divergence of vpr sequences between these two groups of patients. Similarly, in the...
