Abstract excerpt
Five major regions of sequence diversity between strains (V1-V5) have been described in the caprine arthritis-encephalitis lentivirus (CAEV) envelope surface unit glycoprotein (SU). To determine which of these variable regions is important in persistent infection in vivo, we evaluated SU sequence diversity in five neutralization variants from two goats and proviral DNA from five additional goats infected with...
