Abstract: NRTI susceptibility was not affected by the addition of
H208Y in phenotypic assays carried out in MT-4 cells using recombinant HIV-1 containing wild-type (subtype B, BH10),
H208Y,
M41L/
L210W/
T215Y or
M41L/
H208Y/
L21
Abstract: However, enzymatic studies carried out with purified
RTs revealed that in the presence of
M41L/
L210W/
T215Y,
H208Y increases the
RT's ability to unblock and extend primers terminated with zidovudine, tenofovir and in a lesser extent, stavudine.
