Abstract excerpt
Mutational studies on the Vif, Vpr, Vpu, Vpx, and Nef genes of human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) were performed to evaluate their biological functions in natural target cells. For this purpose, replication properties of mutant viruses derived from HIV-1 NL strain and HIV-2 GH strain in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined. Vif- viruses of both HIV-1 and HIV-2...
