The Complete Nucleotide Sequence of a Pathogenic Molecular Clone of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus
1 Nov 1990
Abstract excerpt
The complete nucleotide sequence of an infectious clone of simian immunodeficiency virus of macaques, SIVmac239, has been determined. Virus produced from this molecular clone causes AIDS in rhesus monkeys in a time frame suitable for laboratory investigation. The proviral genome including both long terminal repeats is 10,279 base pairs in length and contains open reading frames for gag, pol, vif, vpr, vpx, tat,...
