Abstract excerpt
Three men from a proven homosexual human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission cluster showed large variation in their clinical course of infection. To evaluate the effect of evolution of the same viral variant in these three patients, we analysed sequence variation in the capsid protein and determined the impact of the observed variation on viral replication fitness in vitro. Viral gag sequences...
