Abstract
Deletion of specific nucleotides at either end of the long terminal repeat of the avian retrovirus, spleen necrosis virus, results in replication-competent but integration-defective virus. This result supports two conclusions: (1) the 5-base pair terminal inverted repeats and three to seven adjacent nucleotides are required for integration; (2) integration of retrovirus DNA is not required for retrovirus gene expression.Entities:
