The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 2 envelope protein is a functional complement to HIV type 1 Vpu that enhances particle release of heterologous retroviruses
1 Dec 1996
Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown that the envelope glycoprotein of the ROD10 isolate of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) has the ability to positively regulate HIV-2 viral particle release. The activity provided by the ROD10 Env was remarkably similar to that of the HIV-1 Vpu protein, thus raising the possibility that the two proteins act in a related fashion. We now show that the ROD10 Env can functionally...
