All Resistance Tests begin by Amplifying the Patient’s Virus Population
Genotype Test
• Determine the genetic composition of patient’s virus
• Compare the genetic composition of patient’s virus to the genetic composition of wild type virus= identify mutations
• Use established algorithms to determine which mutations are associated with drug resistance

Analysis of Sequencing Results
Sample Genotype Report
Conventional Phenotype Test
• ‘Grow’ patient’s virus in the presence of drug
• Determine the amount drug required to suppress 50% viral growth = IC50
• Compare the IC50 of the patient’s virus to the IC50 of a wild type virus = Fold Change
• “Clinical” or “Biological” cutoff to define drug resistance
• Commercially Available Tests:
– Antivirogram (Virco)
– PhenoSense (Monogram)
– Phenoscript (Viralliance)

HIV-1 Resistance Testing Technologies
Phenotyping Assay
• Direct measure of the ability of the virus to grow in the presence of Antiretroviral Drugs
• Quantitative
• Simple interpretation based on (quantitative) fold-change and cut-off values (Biological or Clinical)
• Less sensitive than genotype for the early detection of mutants
• Costly and long TAT
Genotyping Assay
• Indirect measure of the virus’ susceptibility to Antiretroviral Drugs based on sequence (mutations) of relevant parts of the viral genome
• Qualitative
• Requires sophisticated analysis & interpretation of sequence information
• Early detection of mutants
• Affordable and rapid TAT
RESISTANCE
• The ability of HIV to replicate in the presence of Antiretroviral Drugs• Caused by changes in relevant parts of the virus genome (mutations)

– 5 or more amino acids: printed as ‘X’
– e.g. 215X = more than 4 residues detected at position 215 in RT

AZT
d4T
Mutations T215A,C,D,E,G,H,I,L,N,S or V in the RT gene can arise as revertants of resistance associated mutations T215Y or F, and may lead to reduced response to AZT and d4T treatment
NNRTI Cross-
resistance
Predicted Resistance to one NNRTI (EFV or NVP) AND susceptibility to the other
EFV
NVP
Cross resistance among EFV and NVP resistant viruses is extensive. Resistance to one of these drugs usually leads to reduced response to all currently approved NNRTIs

A Resistance Test Result for a Naïve Patient
A Resistance Report for a Patient With a Mixed Virus Population
In virtualPhenotype – LM 4.1, the contribution of mutations in a mixture is divided across the number of amino acids in the mixture Most accurate prediction of the measured phenotype
A Resistance Report for a Patient With a Mixed Virus Population
Standing Definition on pg 3
• In virtualPhenotype – LM 4.2, only the contribution of the mutation with the highest level of resistance in a mixture will be taken into account “Worst Case Scenerio”
A Resistance Report for a Patient With Extensive Drug Resistance: What should we do next?
What about other classes of Antiretroviral Drugs?
• Fusion inhibitors (enfuvirtide, T-20)– Resistance develops rapidly if virus replicates presence of T-2O– Resistance testing generally not utilized in patient management
• Integrase Inhibitors ( – Virologic failure associated with emergence of resistance mutations– Cross resistance between different inhibitors in the class is likely to be
important– No currently available commercial assays
• Tropism (maraviroc)– Not a resistance test per se– Used to Identify patients without detectable CXCR4 tropic virus who
could be candidates for use of a CCR5 antagonist– Commercially available assays
• Trofile™ ( Monogram)• SensiTrop™ HIV Co-Receptor Tropism Assay ( Pathway
Diagnostics, available through Quest, Mayo Reference Labs)
Summary:
• Use of HIV-1 drug resistance testing is recommended in a variety of settings
• Three types of resistance tests: genotype, phenotype, and virtual phenotype
• Tour of the vircoTYPE report• Examples
– Transmitted drug resistance
– Mixed virus populations
– Extensive resistance to approved drugs
