Abstract excerpt

We have cloned proviral DNA of simian foamy virus type 1 (SFV-1) from linear unintegrated DNA (pSFV-1). Transfection of pSFV-1 induces cytopathology in several cell lines with supernatants from the transfected cell culture containing infectious viral particles. Electron microscopy of the transfec...
