Abstract excerpt

In order to define bovine leukemia virus (BLV) sequences required for efficient vector replication, a series of mutations were made in a BLV vector. Testing the replication efficiency of the vectors with a helper virus and helper plasmids allowed for separation of the mutant vectors into three gr...
