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 transfected cells revealed foamy virus particles. Deletion analysis of pSFV-1 indicated that the transcriptional transactivator...
