Abstract excerpt
Foscarnet (trisodium phosphonoformate, PFA) is an effective inhibitor of retroviral reverse transcriptase (RT) and is known to block the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). In this article we analyzed the evolutionary process in generating HIV-1 strains related to drug resistance, using PFA as a selective pressure. PFA inhibited virus replication and protected the virus-induced cell...
