Abstract: Before bPI, significant variation in
Protease and
Gag was observed at positions previously associated with
PI exposure and resistance including
Gag mutations
L449P,
S451N, and
L453P and
Protease K20I an
Introduction: Of particular relevance to this study were mutations associated with resistance to boosted lopinavir:
L10I (three subtype A patients),
L10V (one subtype A),
K20R (five subtype As and 1 subtype C),
L33V (one subtype D),
L63P (one subtype A, two subtype Cs, and three subtype Ds).
