摘要: Sequences from the nef/LTR overlap region of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) genome were amplified uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) 40 HIV-2-infected individuals in The Gambia, West Africa. Additional sequences plasma three donors also derived. Analysis HIV-2 U3 LTR transcription factor elements (PuB-1, p-ets, PuB-2, peri-κB, and NF-κB sites) indicated a relatively high level conservation vivo. immediately 3′ nef termination codon, which exhibits clade-dependent specificity, was targeted by PCR to differentiate subtype A B infections, two principal clinical subtypes. All samples analyzed (n = 43) Gambia identified as combination sequence analysis subtype-specific amplification subtypes B. Differential represents rapid means differentiating infec...
