METHODS AND MEANS FOR ASSESSING HIV GAG/PROTEASE INHIBITOR THERAPY

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and means for the evaluation of HIV treatment. In particular, molecular events at the HIV gag and protease proteins and their effect on therapeutic efficacy of drugs are determined. The methods rely on providing HIV gag and protease nucleic acid material and evaluating a treatment either through genotyping or phenotyping. Said method may find use in multiple fields including diagnostics, drug screening, pharmacogenetics and drug development.
