Abstract
Subtype G is the sixth most prevalent subtype of HIV-1 and is responsible for an estimated 1,500,000 infections worldwide. Although systematic analyses of a wide range of HIV-1 envelope sequences and neutralization have been performed, subtype G viruses are severely underrepresented in these studies. There is thus an important need to study subtype G envelope sequences and their neutralization capacities.
