Abstract excerpt

We investigated effects of site-specific mutation of the putative C/EBP binding site in the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) long terminal repeat (LTR) on the basal promoter activity in Crandell feline kidney (CRFK) cells and on replication efficiency in CRFK cells and a T-lymphoblastoid cell line, MYA-1 cells. Mutation of the C/EBP site reduced the basal promoter activity in CRFK cells and prevented efficient...
