This coupled with facts that (1) retroviruses in­ duce nonlytic infection in cells; (2) retrovirus genome integrated in infected cells can mod­ ulate functions...

... of clinical immunodeficiency disease is prefigured by the replication of the FeLV-FAIDS variant virus in bone marrow and other tissues. The FeLV-FAIDS system can be used to evaluate antiviral agents which act on steps in the replication cycle which are conserved among retroviruses (e.g. reverse transcriptase...

The integration of infectious viral genomes into host chromosomal DNA is well docu­ mented with retroviruses [1]. However...
