Embodiment 1
[0123] Phenotypic drug susceptibility and resistance testing using resistance test vectors
[0124] Phenotypic drug susceptibility and resistance testing was performed using the manner and methods described in PCT International Application No. PCT / US97 / 01609, filed January 29, 1997, which application is hereby incorporated by reference.
[0125] In these experiments, patient-derived fragments (PDS) corresponding to the HIV protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase coding regions, or viral RNA isolated from viral particles present in the sera of HIV-infected individuals by inversion A patient-derived fragment amplified by RT-PCR, or a mutant form of wild-type HIV-1 produced by directed mutagenesis of a parental clone of resistance test vector DNA. Isolation of viral RNA was performed using standard procedures (eg, RNAgents Total RNA Isolation System, Promega, Madison WI or RNAzol, Tel-Test, Friendswood, TX). The RT-PCR method is divided into two steps. Retroviral reverse t...

[0134] Correlation Phenotypic Sensitivity and Genotyping Phenotypic Sensitivity Analysis of Patient HIV Samples
[0135] The resistance test vector was constructed as described in Example 1. Resistance test vectors or clones derived from resistance test vector libraries are tested in phenotypic assays to accurately and quantitatively determine the level of susceptibility to a panel of antiretroviral drugs. The group of antiretroviral drugs may contain members of the classes commonly known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), and protease inhibitors (PRIs). This panel of drugs can be extended to new drugs or new drug targets that are available. IC50s were determined for each resistance test vector pool for each test drug. The susceptibility patterns to all tested drugs were examined and compared to known susceptibility patterns. The drug's effect on viral replication (ie, luciferase ac...

[0139] In HIV, use of resistance test vectors and site-directed mutants to correlate genotypes and associated phenotypes with NNRTI drug sensitivity and resistance, and drug-dependent stimulation of replication
[0140] From: Preparation of M230L+Y181C resistance test vector and phenotypic analysis of patient ARG-014 HIV samples
[0141] Resistance test vectors were constructed as described in Example 1 from virus samples from individual patients sampled at three time points over a 16-week interval. The patient had been treated with two NRTIs (dideoxyadenosine and lamivudine) and one PRI, indinavir. At the time the first sample (designated 98-773) was obtained, the patient was started on a new antiviral regimen consisting of: NRTI (abacavir), NNRTI (nevirapine) and two PRI's s (nelfinavir and saquinavir) (PRIs). A second sample (98-1046) was obtained after 8 weeks and a third sample (98-887) was obtained after 16 weeks. Viral load measurements showed that ...
