Abstract(s)

Background: This study was designed to investigate, for the first time, the short-term molecular evolution of the HIV-2 C2, V3 and C3 envelope regions and its association with the immune response. Clonal sequences of the env C2V3C3 region were obtained fr. - Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia [POCTI/ESP/48045]. - This work was supported by Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (project POCTI/ESP/48045). Pedro Borrego is supported by a PhD grant from Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia.
