Increasing genotypic and phenotypic selection from the original genomic RNA populations of HIV-1 strains LAI and MN (NM) by peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture, B-cell-line propagation and T-cell-line adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To address the question of whether T-cell-line adaptation of the original LAI and MN (NM) HIV-1 populations biased the interpretation of the intraindividual and population-wide virus distributions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: HIV-1 genomic RNA coding for the gp120 C2V3 region was obtained from serum samples of patients LAI and MN and compared to the proviral DNA derived from simultaneously sampled peripheral...
