Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 CRF07_BC is one of the predominant strains in China, however, there have been few reports about the genetic characteristics of accessory genes of this strain. In this study, 236 CRF07_BC tat exon-1 regions were obtained by nested PCR and were followed by sequencing. Our results showed some variations in crucial functional domains, especially in the basic region. There were two conserved amino acid...
