Abstract excerpt

We have compared the expression of full-length gp160 envelope protein from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 with that of a deletion mutant lacking the N-terminal 31 amino acids of the mature protein (gp160 delta 32). The gp160 and gp160 delta 32 proteins are processed to yield gp41 and gp120 o...
