More than two decades have passed since genetically modified HIV was used for gene
delivery. Through continuous improvements these early marker gene-carrying HIVs have …

Small ruminant lentiviruses include viruses with diverse genotypes that frequently cross the
species barrier between sheep and goats and that display a great genetic variability. These …

We constructed an infectious molecular clone of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-
associated retrovirus. Upon transfection, this clone directed the production of infectious virus …

The etiological agent of AIDS, LAV/HTLV-III, is common in Central Africa but is not endemic
in other areas of that continent. A novel human retrovirus, distinct from LAV/HTLV-III, has …

Four consensus sequences are conserved with the same linear arrangement in RNA‐
dependent DNA polymerases encoded by retroid elements and in RNA‐dependent RNA …

Cells with properties characteristic of mononuclear phagocytes were evaluated for infectivity
with five different isolates of the AIDS virus, HTLV-III/LAV. Mononuclear phagocytes cultured …

Abstract Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the human retrovirus associated with AIDS
in West Africa, HIV-2, shows that it is evolutionary distant from the previously characterized …

Retroviral Gag proteins are targeted to the plasma membrane, where they play the central
role in virion formation. Several studies have suggested that the membrane-binding signal is …

The gag-pol protein of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), the precursor to the enzymes responsible
for reverse transcription and integration, is expressed from two genes that lie in different …

A 16-kilodalton protein expressed in cells producing the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV-1) was identified as the gene product of the vpu open reading frame. When expressed …
