Abstract excerpt
The technique of in vitro selection was used to generate variants of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 that are resistant to 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC). Most of the pol regions of such viruses, including the complete reverse transcriptase open reading frame and portions of flanking protease and integrase genes, were cloned and sequenced, using PCR-based procedures. Mutations were variously detected at...
