We applied an efficient method to characterize the relative fitness levels of multiple nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase (NNRTI)-resistant HIV-1 variants by simultaneous competitive culture and 454 deep sequencing. Using this method, we show that the Y181V mutation in the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase in particular confers a clear selective advantage to the virus over 14 other NNRTI resistance mutations in the presence of etravirine in vitro.
我们应用一种有效的方法,通过同时竞争培养和 454 深度测序来描述多种非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂(NNRTI)耐药 HIV-1 变异体的相对适应性水平。使用这种方法,我们表明 HIV-1 逆转录酶中的 Y181V 突变,特别是在体外存在依曲韦林的情况下,赋予病毒相对于其他 14 种 NNRTI 耐药突变明显的选择优势。
