Genetic variation of the HIV-1 subtype C transmitted/founder viruses long terminal repeat elements and the impact on transcription activation potential and clinical disease outcomes
2023-02-10
Abstract excerpt
A genetic bottleneck is a hallmark of HIV-1 transmission such that only very few viral strains, termed transmitted/founder (T/F) variants establish infection in a newly infected host. Phenotypic characteristics of these variants may determine the subsequent course of disease. The HIV-1 5’ long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter drives viral gene transcription and is genetically identical to the 3’ LTR. We hypothesized...
