Abstract excerpt
To study HIV-1 envelope-mediated syncytium formation we have amplified, cloned, expressed, and sequenced individual envelope genes from a set of eight biological HIV-1 clones. These clones were obtained from two patients and display either a syncytium-inducing (SI) or nonsyncytium-inducing (NSI) phenotype. Upon expression through recombinant vaccinia virus, individual envelope gene products display heterogeneous...
