Host restriction of exogenous infection by murine leukemia viruses is controlled in vitro predominantly by the murine Fv-1 locus. The mechanism of this host restriction was investigated by comparing ...

Due to the 4-hour maturation half-life of the Timer protein's blue-to-red chromophore, we can detect reactivated or recently silenced proviruses with high sensitivity using Timer fluorescence.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that integrates into the human genome. This intact, integrated genome is referred to as a provirus and represents a latent or dormant form of the ...

The infection of human immunology viruses (HIV) occurs by integrating its genome into infected cells to enter an inactive state of reversible latency that evades anti-retroviral therapy. The capacity ...

For nearly a decade, scientists have known that HIV integrates itself into genes in cells that have the potential to cause cancer. And when this happens in animals with other retroviruses, those ...
