Abstract:Mutations were introduced by recombinant DNA techniques into the vpr open reading frame of an infectious molecular clone of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. The effect of these changes on the replicative and cytopathologic properties of the virus recovered from transfected cells was studied in several human CD4+ lymphocyte cell lines. In all cases, mutant viruses were infectious and cytopathic. However, when a low-input dose was used, mutants grew significantly more slowly than the wild-type virus. The growth kinetics of vpr mutants were distinct from those of vif and vpu mutants.
