Abstract excerpt
A lambda phage clone containing a full-length HIV-2 provirus, designated HIV-2KR, was obtained from the genomic DNA of Molt4 clone 8 (Molt4/8) lymphoblastic cells infected with the HIV-2PEI2 strain. HIV-2KR is genetically distinct from known HIV-2 isolates, possessing both a unique deletion in the LTR promoter region, and a long rev reading frame. It is replication competent in vitro after transfection into...
