Abstract
We describe a syncytia assay that utilizes a noninfectious plasmid (pEVd1443) derived from human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I). This plasmid carries a large deletion of gag-pol sequences but expresses HIV-I envelope proteins and induces syncytia following transfection into HeLa-CD4 cells. This plasmid was used to study the effects of mutations in the gp 120 and gp41 portions of the envelope gene of HIV-I.Entities:
