Complementation of vif-defective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by primate, but not nonprimate, lentivirus vif genes
1 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
The productive infection of many susceptible human cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages derived from peripheral blood, by the pathogenic lentivirus human immunodeficiency virus type 1 requires expression of the virally encoded vif (for virion infectivity factor) gene.
