Abstract excerpt
We present viral evolution as a novel and powerful method to optimize non-viral proteins. We used this approach to optimize the tetracycline (Tc)-regulated gene expression system (Tet system) for its function in mammalian cells. The components of the Tet system were incorporated in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 virus such that viral replication is controlled by this regulatory system. Upon long term...
