454 sequencing identifies HIV drug resistance at early stage

eases in survival over the last decade, a significant number of patients develop drug resistance shortly after treatment is initiated. The collaboration between 454 Life Sciences and Yale University aimed to determine if patients that fail therapy early were initially infected with a drug resistant HIV strain or if mutations arose in response to treatment.

This research project examined samples from 258 subjects of the FIRST study, a large multi-center study conducted in the US comparing three different approaches to antiretroviral therapy. The FIRST study, which lasted 5 years, evaluated the long-term clinical and virologic effects of three initial antiretroviral drug regimens for treatment naïve HIV-infected persons. The CPCRA Statistical Center at the University of Minnesota correlated the sequence data with the patient outcomes, to which 454 Life Sciences was blinded.

“454 Sequencing can instantly generate hundreds of thousands of long clonal sequence reads that accurately enable the sensitive detection of rare mutations” explained Egholm Michael, Ph.D. vice president of research and development at 454 Life Sciences. “Ultra Deep Sequencing provides an essential tool for research on viral diseases and their treatments. The ability to use 454 Sequencing to detect rare viral mutations is a crucial research tool to better understand the early stages of HIV drug resistance.”

It is estimated that 22 million people have died from AIDS and over 42 million people are living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. In the U.S. alone, 40,000 new infections occur each year.
