Abstract
BACKGROUND Information about patterns of HIV-1 drug resistance among treatment-exposed patients is crucial for the development of novel effective drugs. Currently no system exists that monitors patterns of resistance in patients failing therapy. METHODS The study included 1,988 HIV-1 sequences from patients experiencing therapy failure collected between 2000 and 2004 in 15 European countries. Genotypic resistance was interpreted using the ANRS algorithm. Phenotypic resistance was predicted using the Virco geno- to phenotype system. RESULTS 80.7% of the sequences included at least one drug-resistance mutation. Mutations were found for NRTIs (73.5%), NNRTIs (48.5%), and protease inhibitors (35.8%). Ninety percent of sequences with genotypic resistance harbored M184V, M41L, K103N, D67N, and/or T215Y. Among NRTIs, resistance was most frequently predicted for lamivudine. About half of all sequences had reduced susceptibility for NNRTIs. Resistance to most boosted protease inhibitors was found in < 25%. No sequence had resistance to all currently available drugs. CONCLUSION Levels of resistance among patients with therapy failure were high. The patterns of resistance reflect resistance to drugs available for a longer time. Fully suppressive regimens can be designed even for the most mutated HIV because boosted protease inhibitors have remained active against most circulating viruses and new drug classes have become available.

Abstract
We measured the effects of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitor-resistant mutations K101E+G190S, on replication fitness and EFV-resistance of HIV(NL4-3). K101E+G190S reduced fitness in the absence of EFV and increased EFV resistance, compared to either single mutant. Unexpectedly, K101E+G190S also replicated more efficiently in the presence of EFV than in its absence. Addition of the nucleoside resistance mutations L74V or M41L+T215Y to K101E+G190S improved fitness and abolished EFV-dependent stimulation of replication. D10, a clinical RT backbone containing M41L+T215Y and K101E+G190S, also demonstrated EFV-dependent stimulation that was dependent on the presence of K101E. These studies demonstrate that non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors can stimulate replication of NNRTI-resistant HIV-1 and that nucleoside-resistant mutants can abolish this stimulation. The ability of EFV to stimulate NNRTI-resistant mutants may contribute to the selection of HIV-1 mutants in vivo. These studies have important implications regarding the treatment of HIV-1 with combination nucleoside and non-nucleoside therapies.

Abstract
Linear regression modeling on a database of HIV-1 genotypes and phenotypes was applied to predict the HIV-1 resistance phenotype from the viral genotype. In this approach, the phenotypic measurement is estimated as the weighted sum of the effects of individual mutations. Higher order interaction terms (mutation pairs) were included to account for synergistic and antagonistic effects between mutations. The most significant mutations and interactions identified by the linear regression models for 17 approved antiretroviral drugs are reported. Although linear regression modeling is a statistical data-driven technique focused on obtaining the best possible prediction, many of these mutations are also known resistance-associated mutations, indicating that the statistical models largely reflect well characterized biological phenomena. The performance of the models in predicting in vitro susceptibility phenotype and virologic response in treated patients is described. In addition to a high concordance with in vitro measured fold change, which was the primary aim of model design, the models per drug show good predictivity of therapy response for regimens including that drug, even in the absence of other clinically relevant factors such as background regimen.

Abstract
In most European countries, HIV drug resistance testing has become a routine clinical tool. However, its practical implementation in a clinical context is demanding. The European HIV Drug Resistance Panel was established to make recommendations to clinicians and virologists on this topic and to propose quality control measures. The panel recommends resistance testing for the following indications: i) drug-naive patients with acute or recent infection; ii) therapy failure, including suboptimal treatment response, when treatment change is considered; iii) pregnant HIV-1-infected women and paediatric patients with detectable viral load when treatment initiation or change is considered; and iv) genotype source patient when post-exposure prophylaxis is considered. In addition, for drug-naive patients with chronic infection in whom treatment is to be started, the panel suggests that resistance testing should be strongly considered and recommends testing the earliest sample for drug resistance if suspicion of resistance is high or prevalence of resistance in this population exceeds 10%. The panel does not favour genotyping over phenotype, however it is anticipated that genotyping will be used more often because of its greater accessibility, lower cost and faster turnaround time. For the interpretation of resistance data, clinically validated systems should be used to the greatest extent possible. It is mandatory that laboratories performing HIV resistance tests take regular part in quality assurance programs. Similarly, it is necessary that HIV clinicians and virologists take part in continuous education and meet regularly to discuss problematic clinical cases. Indeed, resistance test results should be used in the context of all other clinically relevant information for predicting therapy response. The panel also encourages the timely collection of epidemiological information to estimate the impact of transmission of resistant HIV and the prevalence of HIV-1 non-B subtypes in the different European countries.

Abstract
Viral replication and latently infected cellular reservoirs persist in HIV-infected patients achieving undetectable plasma virus levels with potent antiretroviral therapy. We exploited a predictable drug resistance mutation in the HIV reverse transcriptase to label and track cells infected during defined intervals of treatment and to identify cells replenished by ongoing replication. Decay rates of subsets of latently HIV-infected cells paradoxically decreased with time since establishment, reflecting heterogeneous lymphocyte activation and clearance. Residual low-level replication can replenish cellular reservoirs; however, it does not account for prolonged clearance rates in patients without detectable viremia. In patients receiving potent antiretroviral therapy, the latent pool has a heterogeneous and dynamic composition that comprises a progressively increasing proportion of stable lymphocytes. Eradication will not be achieved with complete inhibition of viral replication alone.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors (PIs) are important components of many highly active antiretroviral therapy regimens. However, development of phenotypic and/or genotypic resistance can occur, including cross-resistance to other PIs. Development of resistance takes place because trough levels of free drug are inadequate to suppress preexisting resistant mutant variants and/or to inhibit de novo-generated resistant mutant variants. There is thus a need for new PIs, which are more potent against mutant variants of HIV and show higher levels of free drug at the trough. We have optimized a series of substituted sulfonamides and evaluated the inhibitors against laboratory strains and clinical isolates of HIV type 1 (HIV-1), including viruses with mutations in the protease gene. In addition, serum protein binding was determined to estimate total drug requirements for 90% suppression of virus replication (plasma IC(90)). Two compounds resulting from our studies, designated DPC 681 and DPC 684, are potent and selective inhibitors of HIV protease with IC(90)s for wild-type HIV-1 of 4 to 40 nM. DPC 681 and DPC 684 showed no loss in potency toward recombinant mutant HIVs with the D30N mutation and a fivefold or smaller loss in potency toward mutant variants with three to five amino acid substitutions. A panel of chimeric viruses constructed from clinical samples from patients who failed PI-containing regimens and containing 5 to 11 mutations, including positions 10, 32, 46, 47, 50, 54, 63, 71, 82, 84, and 90 had mean IC(50) values of <20 nM for DPC 681 and DPC 681, respectively. In contrast, marketed PIs had mean IC(50) values ranging from 200 nM (amprenavir) to >900 nM (nelfinavir).

Abstract
Efavirenz (also known as DMP 266 or SUSTIVA) is a potent nonnucleoside inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase (RT) activity and of HIV-1 replication in vitro and in vivo. Most patients on efavirenz-containing regimens have sustained antiviral responses; however, rebounds in plasma viral load have been observed in some patients in association with the emergence of mutant strains of HIV-1. Virus isolates from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with such treatment failures, as well as recombinant viruses incorporating viral sequences derived from patient plasma, show reduced in vitro susceptibility to efavirenz in association with mutations in the RT gene encoding K103N, Y188L, or G190S/E substitutions. Patterns of RT gene mutations and in vitro susceptibility were similar in plasma virus and in viruses isolated from PBMCs. Variant strains of HIV-1 constructed by site-directed mutagenesis confirmed the role of K103N, G190S, and Y188L substitutions in reduced susceptibility to efavirenz. Further, certain secondary mutations (V106I, V108I, Y181C, Y188H, P225H, and F227L) conferred little resistance to efavirenz as single mutations but enhanced the level of resistance of viruses carrying these mutations in combination with K103N or Y188L. Viruses with K103N or Y188L mutations, regardless of the initial selecting nonnucleoside RT inhibitor (NNRTI), exhibited cross-resistance to all of the presently available NNRTIs (efavirenz, nevirapine, and delavirdine). Some virus isolates from nevirapine or delavirdine treatment failures that lacked K103N or Y188L mutations remained susceptible to efavirenz in vitro, although the clinical significance of this finding is presently unclear.

Abstract
Cyclic ureas containing 3-aminoindazole P2/P2' groups are extremely potent inhibitors of HIV protease. The parent 3-aminoindazole 6 showed a Ki < 0.01 nM but poor translation of enzyme activity to antiviral activity was observed. A series of 3-alkylaminoindazoles revealed that translation improved with increasing lipophilicity. An X-ray crystal structure of 6 bound to HIV protease was obtained.

Abstract
We have developed a series of murine monoclonal antibodies to a region of the 120 kD envelope glycoprotein (gp120) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). This region has previously been implicated as a site for virus neutralization by antisera raised to recombinant proteins and by antibodies made to full-length gp120 purified from virus. The antigen employed was a synthetic peptide containing 15 amino acids, representing amino acid residues 308-322, RIQRGPGRAFVTIGK, of env gp120 (HTLV-IIIB isolate). Five of the monoclonal antibodies raised to this antigen have reactivity with gp120 from divergent strains of HIV-1 in Western blot assays. The two of these five which were tested with live cells infected with the divergent HIV-1 isolates IIIB, MN, and RF were specifically reactive by fluorescence analyses with cells infected with the MN and IIIB isolates. Four of the five monoclonal antibodies blocked the fusion of IIIB-infected cells with uninfected MOLT-4 target cells. The monoclonal antibody most reactive with MN-infected cells by fluorescence, #5025A, blocked the fusion of MN-infected cells with uninfected MOLT-4 cells. Four of the five monoclonal antibodies neutralized the IIIB isolate of HIV-1 in vitro, but none neutralized the MN or RF isolates at the levels of antibody tested (less than or equal to 50 micrograms/ml). Taken together these data indicate that monoclonal antibodies to the immunodominant neutralizing domain of HIV-1 gp120 display different levels of group reactivity depending on the assay system being examined.

Abstract
EcoRI DNA fragments from a Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV)-infected mouse fibroblast line (M-MuLV clone A9) were cloned in lambda phage Charon 4A cloning vector to derive clones containing integrated M-MuLV proviral DNA. A 10- to 16-megadalton class of EcoRI fragments was chosen for cloning, based on (i) its ability to induce XC-positive virus upon transfection of NIH/3T3 cells, and (ii) its content of a 0.8-megadalton viral KpnI fragment diagnostic for M-MuLV. Six recombinant DNA clones were isolated which contain a complete M-MuLV provirus, as judged by (i) restriction endonuclease mapping and (ii) the fact that all of the clones gave rise to XC-positive, NB-tropic virus upon DNA infection in NIH/3T3 cells. The sizes of the inserts were 12.0 (for three clones) or 12.5 megadaltons (for three clones). Restriction mapping indicated that these six clones represent five different M-MuLV proviral integrations into different cellular DNA sites.

Abstract
The technique of preferential DNase I digestion of transcriptionally active chromatin regions was used to study the structural organization of integrated Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) proviral sequences in various cells carrying integrated viral genomes. BALB/Mo mice, which carry M-MuLV as an endogenous virus at a single Mendelian locus, were used to examine the genetically transmitted viral genome copy and additional M-MuLV sequences acquired somatically during leukemogenesis. It has been shown previously that M-MuLV genome expression in these mice is restricted to lymphatic target tissues. In young homozygous BALB/Mo mice carrying one M-MuLV genome copy per haploid mouse genome in all cells we found that the genetically transmitted viral genome copy was in a preferentially DNase I-sensitive conformation in lymphatic target tissues, whereas in nontarget tissues the same sequence was not preferentially DNase I sensitive. This suggests that the chromatin conformation and the transcriptional activity of the integrated proviral genome are related to and probably determined by the state of cellular differentiation. In target tissues from BALB/Mo mice examined at different ages and in different stages of leukemogenesis the majority of the new somatically acquired M-MuLV sequences were preferentially DNase I digestible. A very similar pattern of DNase I digestibility was observed in target tissues from BALB/c mice exogenously infected with M-MuLV. This shows that in these tissues somatically acquired proviral sequences integrate preferentially or exclusively at sites of the host genome in which they are in a transcriptionally active chromatin conformation. Alternatively, the chromatin structure of the respective host genome region may be changed after the integration of viral DNA. In nontarget tissues from BALB/Mo mice the M-MuLV-specific sequences remained DNase I resistant throughout the lives of the animals. A different pattern of DNase I digestibility was observed in virus-infected cell lines which had been produced by low-multiplicity infection, cloned, and selected for virus production. When cell lines harboring different numbers of M-MuLV proviral copies were examined, it was found that a minority of the proviral sequences (on the average only one M-MuLV genome copy per haploid mouse genome) were preferentially digestible by DNase I, independent of the total number of proviral genome copies present. This suggests that the chromatin conformation of newly acquired proviral sequences is influenced by the state of differentiation of the infected cell or the way infected cells are selected or both.

Abstract
Permanent, non-virus-producing cell lines have been established from a mouse embryo carrying an endogenous, genetically transmitted Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) genome. These cells carry the M-MuLV genome, as demonstrated by hybridization of cellular DNA to M-MuLV complementary DNA, but do not express it at the levels of virus production, accumulation of intracellular viral p30, or M-MuLV-specific RNA. Treatment with bromodeoxyuridine (50 microgram/ml for 24 h) resulted in induction of XC-positive NB-tropic virus, although only a small fraction of the cells released virus (less than 0.1% after 48 h). Immunofluorescent staining and flow microfluorometry indicated that a wave of p30 accumulation occurs in the induced cells, with a maximum at 24 to 48 h after the addition of bromodeoxyuridine. Furthermore, most, if not all, cells were induced to produce p30 protein. Similar kinetics were found for the accumulation of M-MuLV-specific RNA in the cytoplasm of induced cells. This rapid induction of virus expression in a majority of cells was dependent on the presence of the M-MuLV genome and probably represents primarily the expression of this endogenous virus since induction was not observed in cells similarly derived from a sibling embryo lacking the M-MuLV genome.
