Abstract excerpt
The expression and incorporation of retroviral enzymes into virions in the form of Gag/Pol precursor polyproteins is believed to be important for the assembly of infectious viral particles. HIV-1 encodes a 160 kDa Gag/Pol precursor that includes Gag, protease (PR), reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN). We have developed the use of HIV accessory proteins (Vpr and Vpx) as vehicles to incorporate protein of...
