HIV Integration Site Selection: Targeting in Macrophages and the Effects of Different Routes of Viral Entry
5 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
We have studied the selection of HIV DNA integration sites in primary macrophages to investigate two questions. First, mature macrophages do not divide, allowing us to investigate whether HIV integration targeting differs between dividing cells and nondividing cells.
