Abstract excerpt
We generated variants of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) that are resistant to 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC) and 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (d4T) by in vitro selection in MT-4 cells. Portions of flanking protease and integrase sequences as well as the complete reverse transcriptase (RT) open-reading frame of these viruses were cloned and sequenced, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based...
