We examined the prevalence of cleavage site mutations, both within
and outside the gag region, in 28 protease inhibitor (PI) cross-resistant patients treated with indinavir, ritonavir, and/or saquinavir compared to control patients treated with reverse
transcriptase inhibitors. Three human immunodeficiency virus protease
cleavage sites within gag (p2/NC, NC/p1, and NC/TFP) showed
considerable in vivo evolution before and after therapy with indinavir,
ritonavir, and/or saquinavir. Another gag cleavage site
(p1/p6gag) showed a trend compared to matched
controls. The other eight recognized cleavage sites showed relatively
little difference between PI-resistant cases and controls. An A

substitution at the P2 position of the NC/p1 and NC/TFP cleavage sites
was the most common (29%) change selected by the PIs used in this study.
