Result: Surprisingly, the dose-response profile of
Q151M HIV-2ROD was comparable to that of the highly resistant
Q151M/
A62V/
V75I/
F77L/
F116Y (
Q151M+4) HIV-1NL4-3 mutant (figure A2 in appendix A, which appears only in the electronic version of the Journal).
Result: To assess the effects of other replacements that are commonly associated with
Q151M in HIV-1, we constructed an
A62V/
F77L/
F116Y/
Q151M (
Q151M+3) variant of HIV-2ROD.
