Abstract excerpt
Findings are reported from a study conducted to fully sequence the gp120 gene from a Brazilian HIV-1 isolate containing the GWGR motif and compare it to the Brazilian B and F sequences already described. Genomic DNA isolated from six patients in an ongoing HIV cohort study was screened for the presence of the viral V3 loop GWGR motif. Sequence analysis revealed that BZ(GWGR)1 is closely related to the North...
