Abstract excerpt
5-aza-cytidine (5-aza-C) has been shown to be a potent human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mutagen that induces G-to-C hypermutagenesis by incorporation of the reduced form (i.e., 5-aza-dC, 5-aza-dCTP). Evidence to date suggests that this lethal mutagenesis is the primary antiretroviral mechanism for 5-aza-C. To investigate the breadth of application of 5-aza-C as an antiretroviral mutagen, we have...
