Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vif gene encodes a 23-kDa protein (viral infectivity factor) whose exact mechanism of action is not entirely clear. Vif is believed to be highly conserved among different HIV-1 strains. We have analyzed the proviral vif sequences of 61 peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from HIV-1 positive patients by direct solid phase sequencing and temperature gradient gel...
