Tream of the 5'LTR Existence of the host-viral chimeric transcripts that originate from a host promoter and include 5'LTR could be useful for identifying ongoing transcription upstream of the 5'LTR independently of the site of viral integration. Therefore, we next devised an assay, which determines the ratio between transcripts containing LTR sequences and those containing sequences present solely

Ly 20 activation of viral transcription (see Figure 7) already precludes detection of the upstream transcription. This finding is not surprising, as we demonstrated that there is 11-fold or 38-fold more viral mRNA than *mRNA in TNF- treated cells (Figure 2D, bars 3 and 4). Predictably, our control experiments demonstrate that the ratio between the Rev- and Env-containing transcripts was 1 in untr

Me transcription through the provirus, since slight enrichment of elongating RNAPII in the HIV coding region of transcriptionally silent J-Lat 9.2 cells was observed using ChIPqPCR assay. However, transcription originating from the host promoter, ignoring pA sites in both LTRs and consequently splicing out the provirus together with the host intron (Han et al., 2004) is most likely less frequent t
And from cells expressing Tat protein, 48 h after electroporation. qPCR was performed in the presence of SyBr Green (Sigma). Primer sequences and positions are in Table S1. Construction of stably transfected cell lines LMP vectors (Open Biosystems) expressing two microRNA-adapted shRNAs (shRNAmir) against the ER and a control shRNAmir (Table S1) were transfected into Phoenix cells with FuGENE6 rea

Clinically relevant resistance mutations in the protease gene. The most frequent RT mutations were M184V (n?11), conferring resistance to lamivudine and emtricitabine, and Y181C (n?4), G190A/S (n?4) and K103N (n?4), conferring resistance to NNRTIs. Of concern, three children (16 ; 95 CI: 3 ?40 ) had thymidine analogue mutations, associated with cross-resistance to all NRTIs. Figure 1 gives the pr
