Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HIV type-1 (HIV-1) resistance to enfuvirtide (ENF) is mediated by mutations in the HR1 domain of gp41. We have previously shown that some of these mutations are selected in the context of env backgrounds that are not dominant before exposure to ENF, suggesting that particular env environments could facilitate phenotypic expression of HR1-mediated ENF resistance. METHODS: Envelope clones, representing...
