Abstract: Co-transfection of COS-7 cells with an HIV-1 plasmid (pSUM13) carrying five mutations in the
reverse transcriptase (
RT)-encoding region (
A62V,
V75I,
F77L,
F116Y,
Q151M), conferring resistance to multiple dideoxynucleoside analogs (ddNs), and another HIV-1 plasmid (pSUM431) carrying five mutations in the
protease-encoding region (V321,
L33F, K451, 184V,
L89M), conferring resistance to
protease inhibitors such as KNI-272, readily produced HIV-1 carrying both sets of mutations when propagated in MT-2 cells in the presence of azidothymidine (AZT) and KNI-272.
