Abstract Background Numerous studies have shown that viral quasi-species with genetically diverse envelope proteins Env replicate simultaneously in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 . Less information is available concerning the extent that envelope sequence diversity translates into a diversity of phenotypic properties including infectivity and resistance to entry inhibitors. Methods To study these questions we isolated genetically distinct contemporaneous clonal viral populations from the plasma of 5 HIV-1 infected individuals n 70 and evaluated the infectivity of recombinant viruses expressing Env proteins from the clonal viruses in several target cells. The sensitivity to entry inhibitors enfuvirtide TAK-799 soluble CD4 and .
