Abstract excerpt
To elucidate genetic characteristics of HIV-1 subtype E involved in vertical transmission, V3 regions of HIV-1 subtype E isolated from 17 infected mothers (M1-M17) and their infants (I1-I17) at 1 month after birth were sequenced after cloned into pCRII vectors. At least three clones of each sample were collected. All mothers were asymptomatic and had been infected through a heterosexual route. Nine infants...
