Abstract: A 48-h culture in the presence of NVP, however, selected HIV-1 carrying NVP resistance-associated mutations,
V106A,
V108I, or both, suggesting that minor viral populations of these two isolates had harbored these mutations.
Abstract: Our study identified a novel NVP resistance-associated mutation,
K238S, which could be persistently detected by genotypic assay longer than
V106A and
V108I during off-treatment period.
Abstract: Replication kinetic studies of recombinant HIV-1 clones suggested that
K238S conferred a significant resistance against NVP, especially when accompanied with
V106A (530-fold) or
V108I (56-fold).
