How did viruses evolve? Are they a streamlined form of something that existed long ago, or an ultimate culmination of smaller genetic elements joined together?

Expert Rev Proteomics. 2008;5(3):507-528. Although it is widely known that HIV-1 initiates a profound global host cell response to infection, it is difficult to trace specific expression and ...

Our services for retroviruses include production of viral supernatant by transient transfection as well as assay for replication competent retrovirus. Retroviral vector-mediated gene transfer has been ...

The retroviral replication cycle requires that retroviral nucleic acids integrate into the cellular DNA of the host cell. Before this can occur, the viral nucleic acids must access the nucleus.

The new administration's freeze on foreign aid (affecting America's sweeping anti-HIV initiative PEPFAR) has raised concerns ...

This endeavor has utilized the chick embryo as the model system and recombinant retroviral vectors as a main tool to express or attenuate specific proteins. Investigating mechanisms of normal neuronal ...
