Abstract excerpt
By using particle-associated reverse transcriptase (RT) activity as an assay for Pol incorporation into human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag virus-like particles (VLPs), it has been found that truncated, protease-negative, Gag-Pol missing cis Gag sequences is still incorporated into Gag VLPs, albeit at significantly reduced levels (10 to 20% of the level of wild-type Gag-Pol). In this work, we have...
