Doug’s paper on polymorphisms that affect HIV-1 capsid phenotypes

PhD student Doug Fischer published part of his thesis project in the Journal of Virology (“CA Mutation N57A Has Distinct Strain-Specific HIV-1 Capsid Uncoating and Infectivity Phenotypes”). As we still do not understand how HIV-1 infects non-dividing cells, such as macrophages, Doug characterized a virus with a mutation in the capsid protein (N57A) that abolished […]
