“…Because of this, we evaluated levels of WT and class I mutant gene expression across numerous cell lines using a single infection strategy. For this, single-round HIV-1 carrying the bacterial CAT gene in the viral nef position and either WT or class I IN mutant D116A (2,7,14) was pseudotyped with the HIV-1 envelope as previously described (20,42). Four different CD4-positive Tcell lines, C8166 (45), , Jurkat (59), and CEM-12D7 (43), each of which was previously used to study HIV-1 IN mutant replication (7,15,16,28,50,53), were infected with equal RT-cpm of virus.…”
