Abstract excerpt
The primary targets for infection of HIV-1 are CD4+ T cells and monocyte/macrophage cells. We investigated the genotype heterogeneity of HIV-1 in distinct blood compartments, CD4+ T cells, monocytes, and plasma. Nucleotide sequences of proviral DNA from CD4+ T cells, monocyte cells, and cell-free virion RNA from plasma were determined in three HIV-1 infected individuals. We found that the heterogeneity in...
