Abstract excerpt
A BK virus (BKV) expression vector, specific for human cells, was engineered to express antisense human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) tat cDNA (tat-AS) or a tat mutant in cysteine 22 (tat22). Cysteine residues in the cysteine-rich domain of tat are necessary for tat transactivation of the...
