Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Integrase strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) are efficient at impairing retroviral integration, which is a critical step in HIV-1 replication. To date, resistance to these compounds has been explained by mutations in the viral protein integrase, which catalyses the integration step. Recently, it has been shown that selected mutations in the 3' polypurine tract (3'PPT), a sequence involved in the...
