Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein Vpr appears to make a substantial contribution to the replication of HIV-1 in established T cell lines when HIV-1 is present at very low multiplicities of infection. However, the role of Vpr in viral replication in primary CD4+ T cells remains to be clarified. In this study, we generated a panel of viruses that encoded mutant forms of Vpr that...
