The biological characteristics of HIV-1 primary isolates of different recombinant forms (RFs) and non-B subtypes from Galicia, Spain, were investigated and the relationships between biological phenotype and evolution of infection were determined. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtai

To document the actual genetic diversity of HIV-1 strains in the Republic of Congo, 114 HIV-1 positives persons were sampled in 2003 and 2004 after their informed consent. They were attending the teaching hospital, the reference health center in Makelekele, Brazzaville and the regional hospital cent
## Abstract Genetic recombination and high rate of mutation increase HIV‐1 diversity, allowing viruses to escape more easily from the host immune response or antiretroviral drugs. The recombinant nature of full‐length HIV‐1 genomic sequences derived from viruses infecting five epidemiologically unl
The tat regulatory protein of HIV-1 was expressed as a fusion protein in E. coli and used as antigen to detect antibodies against HIV-tat (anti-tat) in the serum of HIV-1 infected children and adults. HIV-1-infected children showed a higher frequency (55%) of anti-tat than HIV-1-infected adults (36%
