## Abstract A new assay for detecting inhibition of reverse transcriptase activity (the RT‐i REA) was developed. This assay was standardized for screening serum samples for reverse transcriptase inhibiting antibodies (RT‐iAb). High specificity (100%) and sensitivity (<98%) were achieved with sample

A hypothesis is developed that circulatory exposure to alloantigens found on lymphocytes triggers a series of events leading to suppression of the cell-mediated arm of the immune system and, therefore, that such alloantigenic challenge can be an important cofactor promoting infection with the human
## Abstract Sequential human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) isolates were obtained over a 29‐month period from a person before, during, and after AZT therapy. DNA sequence analysis of polymerase chain‐amplified reverse‐transcriptase gene showed a gradual accumulation of mutations to peak res
## Abstract HIV‐1 replicative activity and its relation to the clinical and immunological evolution of infection was studied in a group of 150 HIV‐1 seropositive Italian i.v. drug abusers over a 1 year period. HIV‐1 was isolated from 91 (60%) subjects; two groups of isolates were distinguished, acc
