Tailored enrichment strategy detects low abundant small noncoding RNAs in HIV-1 infected cellsClaudia F Althaus
Division of Infectious Diseases and Hospital Epidemiology, University Hospital Zurich, University of Zurich, Ramistrasse 100, CH 8091 Zurich, Switzerland
Retrovirology 9:27. 2012..Thus, we applied a novel, sequence targeted enrichment strategy to capture HIV-1 derived sncRNAs in HIV-1 infected primary CD4+ T-lymphocytes and macrophages that allows a greater than 100-fold enrichment of low abundant sncRNAs...

PLoS ONE 6:e21734. 2011..These mutations are key mutations conferring drug resistance to reverse transcriptase inhibitors and they belong to the most commonly transmitted drug resistance mutations...
Rapid selection of drug-resistant HIV-1 during the first months of suppressive ART in treatment-naive patientsKarin J Metzner
University of Erlangen Nuremberg, Institute of Clinical and Molecular Virology, Erlangen, Germany
AIDS 21:703-11. 2007..In this study, we wanted to determine whether drug-resistant viruses are already selected during viral decline within the first months of ART...

Detection of minor populations of drug-resistant HIV-1 in acute seroconvertersKarin J Metzner
University of Erlangen Nuremberg, Institute of Clinical and Molecular Virology, Germany
AIDS 19:1819-25. 2005..As minor populations of drug-resistant HIV-1 could impact the efficiency of antiretroviral therapy, this study was performed to determine the prevalence of minor populations of drug-resistant HIV-1 in acute seroconverters...
