Abstract: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease mutation N88S, which is occasionally selected by treatment with nelfinavir or indinavir, confers hypersusceptibility to amprenavir in vitro.
Abstract: We report a case of N88S developing after virologic failure of both indinavir- and nelfinavir-containing regimens that was managed successfully with a regimen that contained amprenavir.

Abstract: Genotypic and phenotypic analysis of three different HIV strains resistant to BMS-232632 indicated that an N88S substitution in the viral protease appeared first during the selection process in two of the three strains.
A mutation in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease, N88S, that causes in vitro hypersensitivity to amprenavir.
Abstract: All viruses that carried the N88S mutation were hypersensitive to amprenavir.
Abstract: Site-directed mutagenesis studies confirmed the causal role of N88S in determining amprenavir hypersensitivity.
Abstract: The most pronounced increases in susceptibility were strongly associated with an N88S mutation in protease.
Abstract: The presence of the N88S mutation and associated amprenavir hypersensitivity may be useful in predicting an improved clinical response to amprenavir salvage therapy.

Abstract: Two variants with single mutations responsible for drug resistance (V82A and N88S) were quantifiably isolated after only one round of replication, yielding a crude frequency estimate of at least 1 SC-55389A-resistant variant per 3.5 x 10(5) wild-type infectious units.
A mutation in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 protease at position 88, located outside the active site, confers resistance to the hydroxyethylurea inhibitor SC-55389A.

Abstract: Resistant isolates from both strains consistently had a mutation to serine for asparagine at amino acid 88 (N88S) in the protease gene either alone or in combination with a change to phenylalanine at position 10.
Abstract: The N88S mutation, recreated by oligonucleotide-mediated site-directed mutagenesis in HXB2, was sufficient to confer resistance to SC-55389A.
Abstract: The potencies of L735,524 and Ro31-8959 were not reduced when these compounds were assayed against variants with either the N88S or N88D substitution.
