Abstract excerpt
Live attenuated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccines are considered unsafe because more quickly replicating pathogenic virus variants may evolve after vaccination. As an alternative vaccine approach, we have previously presented a doxycycline (dox)-dependent HIV-1 variant that was constructed by incorporating the tetracycline-inducible gene expression system (Tet-On system) into the viral genome....
