Abstract:
The paper presents the data of a comparative analysis of various bioinformation methods for evaluating the tropism of HIV-1 subtype A that is typical of Russia. The prevalence of CXCR4- and CCR5-tropic viruses among the variants prevailing in Russia was studied using the B-PSSM (sinsi) prediction method. No X4-tropic variants were found among 124 samples of HIV-1 isolated from the Russian patients not receiving antiretrovirus therapy.
