Abstract excerpt
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of macaques is remarkably similar to that of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in humans, and the SIV-macaque system is a good model for AIDS research. We have constructed an SIV proviral DNA clone that is deleted of 97 nucleotides (nt), i.e., construct SD, at positions (+322 to +418) immediately downstream of the primer binding site (PBS) of SIVmac239. When...
