Abstract
A comparison has been made between manual and automated DNA sequencing procedures to evaluate the ability to distinguish mixtures of wild-type and mutant sequences. Quantitative detection of such mixtures of HIV-1 drug resistance mutations was best achieved using an automated system that uses fluorescent-labelled sequencing primers. This procedure has a wide range of applications in clinical research, including heterozygote analysis. Software that automatically reports mixed-base positions is presented.

Viral dynamics in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection

TL;DR: Almost complete replacement of wild-type virus in plasma by drug-resistant variants occurs after fourteen days, indicating that HIV-1 viraemia is sustained primarily by a dynamic process involving continuous rounds of de novo virus infection and replication and rapid cell turnover.

Potential mechanism for sustained antiretroviral efficacy of AZT-3TC combination therapy

Brendan Larder, +2 more
- 04 Aug 1995 - 
TL;DR: In vivo AZT-3TC combination therapy resulted in a markedly greater decreased in serum HIV-1 RNA concentrations than treatment with AZT alone, even though valine-184 mutants rapidly emerged, consistent with in vitro mutation studies.

TMC114, a Novel Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Protease Inhibitor Active against Protease Inhibitor-Resistant Viruses, Including a Broad Range of Clinical Isolates

TL;DR: TMC114 is a potential candidate for the treatment of both naïve and PI-experienced patients with HIV and Combinations with ritonavir, nelfinavir, and amprenavir showed some evidence of synergy.

TMC125, a Novel Next-Generation Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Active against Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor-Resistant Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

TL;DR: The emerging clinical candidate, TMC125, was highly active against wild-type HIV-1 and showed some activity against HIV-2 and retained activity against 97% of 1,081 recent clinically derived recombinant viruses resistant to at least one of the currently marketed NNRTIs.

Multiple mutations in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase confer high-level resistance to zidovudine (AZT).

Brendan Larder, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1989 - 
TL;DR: The reproducible nature of these mutations should make it possible to develop rapid assays to predict zidovudine resistance by performing polymerase chain reaction amplification of nucleic acid from peripheral blood lymphocytes, thereby circumventing current lengthy HIV isolation and sensitivity testing.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 mutants resistant to nonnucleoside inhibitors of reverse transcriptase arise in tissue culture.

TL;DR: HIV-1 variants resistant to nevirapine emerged with passage in cell culture in the presence of drug and was stable with continued passage in the absence of drug, while mutants were also resistant to a tetrahydroimidazo and retained their sensitivity to the other reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Zidovudine resistance predicted by direct detection of mutations in DNA from HIV-infected lymphocytes.

Brendan Larder, +2 more
- 01 Feb 1991 - 
TL;DR: A series of infectious HIV variants with specific combinations of mutations in the RT gene were constructed and their sensitivity to zidovudine was assessed by direct detection of specific mutations in DNA from peripheral-blood lymphocyte samples to establish the clinical significance of the resistant isolates.
