“…These data suggest there is no selective advantage between these two Brazilian HIV-1 subtypes, transmitted by either parenteral or sexual routes. The high crossed seroreactivity observed using the sera of this same study group (Bongertz et al, 2003) seems to confirm the lack of biological distinction between these two genetic subtypes of HIV-1.…”

“…A global analysis of several different projects, performed with approval of the Fiocruz Ethical Committee, is presented, mainly of a recent study carried out with plasma from injection drug users (IDU) (Bongertz et al 2003). Plasma were obtained from 105 patients diagnosed as HIV-1 positive according to the norms of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, who were in all stages of HIV-1 infection (47.6% being asymptomatic individuals).…”

“…Attempts to "immunotype", "serotype" or "neutrotype" HIV-1 have shown that, although "reactivity clusters" can be identified (Bradac & Ho 1992, McKnight et al 1992, Mascola et al 1994, Cheingsong-Popov et al 1994, Weber et al 1996, Kostrikis et al 1996, Zolla-Pazner et al 1999, Zhang et al 2002, Zolla-Pazner 2004, these have little correlation to the clades identified by genotyping HIV-1. In Southeastern Brazil, although infection by the so-called Brazilian variant of the classical B clade of HIV-1, Bbr, can mostly be distinguished by a more specific reactivity pattern towards homologous synthetic peptides, no distinction of plasma of individuals infected with the prevalent B or the F clades of HIV-1 could be observed using synthetic envelope peptides (Bongertz et al 2003).…”

“…For some of the samples tested in duplicate, reactivity with the peptides was discordant even after repetition, probably indicating low affinity binding partially removed by the 8M urea washes. These results were considered doubtful and not included in this report, leading to differences in numbers of samples tested with the different synthetic peptides (Bongertz et al 2003). …”
