In vitro HIV-1 LTR integration into T-cell activation gene CD27 segment and the decoy effect of modified-sequence DNA.

Integration into the host genome is an essential step in the HIV-1 life cycle. However, the host genome sequence that is favored by HIV-1 during integration has never been documented. Here, we report that CD27, a T cell activation gene, includes a sequence that is a target for in vitro HIV-1 cDNA in...
