Viral DNA carried by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 virions
1 Aug 1992
Abstract excerpt
A fundamental step in the replication of retroviruses is the reverse transcription of the viral RNA genome into a double-stranded DNA provirus. Retroviruses are believed to carry genomic information only as RNA, and synthesis of DNA is thought to start only after virus entry into the infected cell. We report here that infectious mature human immunodeficiency virus type 1 virions contain viral DNA of heterogeneous...
