Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HIV-1 accessory Vpr protein is involved in the reverse transcription process and has been shown to modulate the virus mutation rate. This process may play a role in the kinetics of appearance of drug resistance mutations under antiretroviral treatment. METHODS: Vpr sequences were analyzed from plasma viruses derived from 97 HIV-1-infected individuals failing antiretroviral treatment and 63...
