The A62V and S68G Mutations in HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Partially Restore the Replication Defect Associated With the K65R Mutation
1 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The K65R mutation in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase can be selected by abacavir, didanosine, tenofovir, and stavudine in vivo resulting in reduced susceptibility to these drugs and decreased viral replication capacity. In clinical isolates, K65R is frequently accompanied by the A62V and S68G reverse transcriptase mutations. METHODS: The role of A62V and S68G in combination...
