Abstract excerpt
A nonintegrating mutant, SIVsmD116N, was derived from the infectious pathogenic SIVsmE543-3 clone by introducing an Asp (D) to Asn (N) mutation into the catalytic domain of integrase. Although SIVsmD116N generated all viral proteins following transfection, cell-free virus did not productively infect CEMx174 cells, macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Viral DNA...
