Abstract excerpt
The vif gene of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) is required for productive virus infection of primary blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages in vitro. Replication of HIV-1 vif- mutants in T-lymphoid cell lines varies and is dependent on the cell line used for virus production. To further understand the role of Vif in HIV-1 infection, we constructed to vif deletion mutants from a molecular clone...
