Plasma RNA viral load in human immunodeficiency virus type 2 subtype A and subtype B infections.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) is much less pathogenic than HIV-1, and HIV-2 infection is associated with plasma viral loads significantly lower than those found in HIV-1 infection. We have developed a real-time quantitative PCR method for measuring the HIV-2 RNA load that covers the range of genetic diversity of HIV-2 isolates and that detects extremely low viral loads. Samples fr...
متن کاملDiscrimination of subtype B and non-subtype B strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by serotyping: correlation with genotyping.
The ability of a peptide-based serotyping assay to differentiate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 (HIV-1) subtype B infections from non-subtype B infections was investigated with 166 anti-HIV-1- and HIV RNA-positive (by PCR) serum or plasma specimens. The specimens were divided genetically into those infected with subtype B and non-subtype B by application of a screening heteroduplex m...
متن کاملDiversification of subtype E human immunodeficiency virus type 1 env in heterosexual seroconverters from Northern Thailand.
The C2-V3 region of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 env was determined from 15 northern Thailand seroconverters between 1993 and 1995. Similar sequences were also determined from 18 seroconverting injection drug users in Baltimore. All seroconverters from northern Thailand were infected with subtype E HIV-1 on the basis of env sequences. Intersubject viral DNA distances increased from ...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus type 1 env sequences from Calcutta in eastern India: identification of features that distinguish subtype C sequences in India from other subtype C sequences.
India is experiencing a rapid spread of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), primarily through heterosexual transmission of subtype C viruses. To delineate the molecular features of HIV-1 circulating in India, we sequenced the V3-V4 region of viral env from 21 individuals attending an HIV clinic in Calcutta, the most populous city in the eastern part of the country, and analyzed these a...
متن کاملEvolution of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtype-specific V3 domain is confined to a sequence space with a fixed distance to the subtype consensus.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains can be separated into genetic subtypes based on phylogenetic analysis of the envelope gene. Once it had been shown that population-wide intrasubtype genetic variation of HIV-1 strains increases in the course of the AIDS epidemic, it remained uncertain whether HIV-1 subtypes are phenotypic entities spreading as distinct virus populations. To ex...
