Abstract excerpt
In order to understand the impact of zidovudine resistance and thymidine analog mutations (TAMs) on subtype C human immunodeficiency virus type 1, we created mutants in subtype C reverse transcriptase (RT). The subtype B RT was placed in a subtype C backbone to act as a control. Mutants and wild-type (WT) virus were competed in a head-to-head competition assay to determine how different clones grew in the same...
