Abstract excerpt
The vif gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is essential for virus growth in non-permissive cells such as H9. To elucidate the mechanism of action of the Vif protein, vif mutants, which show trans-dominant negative effects on the replication of HIV-1, would be useful tools. In this study, a new assay system to identify the mutants of this category was established. For this new system, various...
