Abstract excerpt
The growth properties of molecular clones of a highly cytopathic Zairian HIV1-NDK and prototype viruses were compared to correlate genetic variations with biological changes. The cloned HIV1-NDK retained the highly replicating cytopathic phenotype and formed larger syncytia than the prototype. On...
