  • Recombination breakpoint analysis of the gag p17 region of a BG recombinant virus The BG recombinant virus is transmitted heterosexually and causes AIDS and death Two patients, 98PTHEM103 and 98PTHEM104, were thought to be an heterosexual transmission pair.
  • The envelope of the recombinant virus is provided by the G protein of the Vesicular Stomitis virus (VSV-G protein), for which the genetic information is carried on a separate plasmid.
  • This evidence suggests that attenuation of the recombinant virus is due to a direct antiviral effect of TNF on cells at the site of infection.
  • "The new recombinant virus is capable of growing and infecting cells, but it is not capable of causing disease in animals," Dr.
  • However, the formation of the recombinant virus is a significant bottleneck in the process.
