Abstract excerpt
Maraviroc binds to the pocket of extracellular loops of the cell surface CCR5 and prevents R5 HIV-1 from using CCR5 as a coreceptor for entry into CD4-positive cells. To evaluate the contribution of the V3 loop structure in gp120 to maraviroc resistance, we isolated maraviroc-resistant variants from the V3 loop library virus (HIV-1(V3Lib)) containing a set of random combinations of 0-10 polymorphic mutations in...
