Abstract excerpt
We generated a lymphoid cell line (Sup-T1-Rev/Env) that stably expresses a 19-bp short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting a conserved region of HIV-1 encoding for the Envelope and Rev proteins, which potently inhibited viral replication. However, continuous passage of HIV-1 in Sup-T1-Rev/Env generated virus mutants able to overcome the RNAi restriction. Sequence analysis of the emerging viruses showed that mutations...
