Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 has been subdivided into two groups, M and O, based on phylogenetic analysis. To better understand the pathogenesis of group O viruses, we studied biologic and genetic characteristics of two primary isolates from Spain, ES1158.1 and ES1159.1, and one from the United States, MD.1. After viral isolation, we studied the replication kinetics in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages, as well...
