Continuous propagation of RRE(-) and Rev(-)RRE(-) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 molecular clones containing a cis-acting element of simian retrovirus type 1 in human peripheral blood lymphocytes

Abstract excerpt

Molecular clones of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 that contained either 37 point mutations in the Rev-responsive element (RRE) that did not affect the overlapping env reading frame or both a mutated RRE and two mutations that eliminated Rev were constructed. The mutations in the RRE were shown to remove both negative and Rev-inducible positive effects of the RRE on gene expression (G. Nasioulas, A. S....
