Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) favors integration in active genes of host chromatin. It is believed that transcriptional interference of the viral promoter over the endogenous gene or vice versa might occur with implications in HIV-1 post-integrative transcriptional latency. RESULTS: In this work a cell line has been transduced with a HIV-based vector and selected for Tat-inducible...
