The full-length genomes for T/F viruses were inferred as described in previous studies14 (link)25 (link). Infectious molecular clones (IMCs) were chemically synthesized and constructed for different T/F viruses from three subjects (CH0200, CH0228 and CH0078) as previously described2 (link)14 (link). Among them, CH0200a, CH0228a and CH0228b were reported in a previous study16 (link). The viral stocks were generated by transfecting the IMCs into 293T cells as described previously25 (link). The p24 concentrations of viral stocks were determined with the p24 ELISA kit (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) and TCID50 of viral stocks was determined on TZM-bl cells.
