Efficiency of viral DNA synthesis during infection of permissive and nonpermissive cells with vif-negative human immunodeficiency virus type 1
1 Oct 1993
Abstract excerpt
The rate-limiting steps in infection by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) deficient in the viral infectivity factor, Vif, are unknown. As a measurement of completion of the early stages of the HIV-1 life cycle, the levels of viral DNA were examined by polymerase chain reaction amplification during infection by vif-positive and vif-negative viruses of MT-2 and H9 cells, in which vif is required for HIV-1...
