Abstract:
A variant of HIV-3 retrovirus, comprising three core proteins with molecular weights of about 12 kD, about 17 kD, and about 25 kD, an endonuclease with molecular weight of about 31 kD, two reverse trascnriptases with molecular weights of about 49 kD and about 62 kD, a transmembrane protein with molecular weight of about 41 kD, and an outer membrane protein with molecular weight of about 120 kD, the variant characterized in that its RNA does not hybridize with RNA or DNA derived from either the Env gene, the LTR sequence, or the Pol region of the HIV-1 genome, under stringent conditions.
