FIG. 1.
Comparison of our local strain (A_2Ph01) with other HIV-1 and HIV-2 isolates. (A) HIV-2 sequence alignment. A multiple sequence alignment of HIV-2 strains based on envelope V3 region is shown. The alignment shows a comparison of our local strain (A_2Ph01) and HIV-2 subtype A (8) and subtype B (3) strains from the database, including A_ISY (Gambia), A_ST (Senegal), A_D1024 (India), A_CAM2 (Guinea-Bissau), A_ROD (Cape Verde Islands), A_BEN (Mali), A_GH1 (Ghana), A_885 (West Africa), B_UC1 (Ivory Coast), B_D205 (Ghana), B_EHOA (Ivory Coast), and three unpublished Indian isolates from private clinics, A_JKM 280, A_JKM 281, and A_JKM 285. Dots denotes nucleotides similar to those of the local isolate (A_2Ph01). (B) Phylogenetic relationship between our isolate (A_2Ph01) and other published isolates (HIV-1 and HIV-2), showing their genetic relationship.
