Abstract excerpt
The genetic stability of attenuated Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) variants harbouring mutations (Gly or Lys) of Asn17, the protease-cleavage site of the proximal zinc finger of the nucleocapsid protein, was studied. All possible codons for the Gly mutants were tested as starting sequences. Long-term replication assays revealed that the mutants were unstable; mutations of Gly17 to Arg, Ala, Ser and Cys,...
