Viral Protease genes from HIV-2 infected individuals, as well as from the ROD isolate, were PCR amplified, sub-cloned in pRS316Gal1/10 expression vector and used to transform yeast cells. Protease susceptibility to LPV and SQV was determined by defining the % of cell growth in galactose in the presence of inhibitors (as in table 1), and IC50 values were defined as in Fig 2A.
