Early Transcription from Nonintegrated DNA in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
11 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) involves obligatory sequential processes. Following viral entry and reverse transcription, the newly synthesized viral DNA integrates into the host chromatin. Integration is mandatory for viral production, yet HIV infection of CD4 T cells in vivo results in high levels of nonintegrated DNA. The biological potential of nonintegrated HIV DNA is unclear; however,...
