摘要: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the primary etiologic agent of acquired syndrome (AIDS), is among a group human retroviruses specific for T4+ lymphocytes [1]. Several independent isolates HIV* have been obtained from AIDS patients. These specified T cell lymphotropic III (HTLV [2]), lymphadenopathy-associated (LAV [3]), and AIDS-associated retrovirus (ARV [4]). Molecular clones all described show high level identity in sequence products produced [5–7]. The indicates similarities with other retroviruses, including an overall gag-pol-env genome organization genes that encode viral core gag (group antigen) proteins; pol polyprotein processed to produce protease, reverse transcriptase, integrase; envelope (env) proteins. Other unique HIV are present, some which thought be involved regulation gene expression activation [7–10].
