Abstract excerpt
To examine the in vivo roles of auxiliary genes and regulatory elements of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), the provirus load in various tissues of cats infected with each of the mutant viruses (delta vif, delta ORF-A and delta AP-1) was studied. Although all mutant viruses could infect vario...
