5' long terminal repeat (LTR)-selective methylation of latently infected HIV-1 provirus that is demethylated by reactivation signals

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We previously described selective hypermethylation of the 5'-long terminal repeat (LTR) of HTLV-1 provirus <it>in vivo </it>and <it>in vitro</it>. This prompted us to analyze CpG methylation of the two LTRs of the HIV provirus in chro...
