Abstract
Seven new human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) isolates (CBL-20 to CBL-26) from The Gambia were characterized. Their cytopathogenicity and growth in vitro correlated with the severity of clinical disease. CBL-22 was highly sensitive to neutralization by HIV-2 sera and was cross-neutralized by some HIV-1 sera. These findings, the differing sizes of envelope glycoproteins of individual isolates, and the sequence analysis of amplified regions of the viral DNAs show that these HIV-2 isolates from one geographical region in West Africa exhibit biological and genome variability comparable to that observed for HIV-1.Keywords
