Abstract excerpt
The feasibility of using a trans-dominant interfering human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope mutant for inducible gene therapy of HIV infection was investigated. Genes encoding wild-type or mutant glycoproteins were introduced into CD4+ cells, where they were stably maintained but n...
