| Description | A mutant designated NL-E65, which lacks the expression of entire vpu gene, was constructed from T-cell tropic wild-type (wt) human immunodeficiency virus type1(HIV-1) clone and monitored for its replication property in human cells, along with a mutant NL-Ss which expresses a C-terminal truncated Vpu. The mutant NL-Ss could grow in two cell lines and in all peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) preparations to some extent, with kinetics similar to those of wt virus. Likewise, the mutant NL-E65exhibited a replication property typical to the vpu mutant in the two cell lines and in all PBMC cultures, growing at a low level. Along with the results previously reported, these data indicate that HIV-1 Vpu is dispensable for virus replication in any of the types of cells so far tested.
