Abstract
Three new HIV-1 isolates HIV-1 D747(ECACC V92082718), HIV-1 D757(ECACC V92082719) and HIV-1 D760(ECACC V92082720) are disclosed, which represent a further independent subtype of the HIV-1 family and have been recovered from Indian patients which at the time when the virus was isolated showed no typical AIDS symptoms. Also disclosed are vaccines against HIV-1 infections by this subtype and a process for producing the same, as well as the use of the HIV-1 infection, as well as for differential diagnosis.
