Human genomic libraries were screen under low-stringency conditions using probes from animal retroviruses, allowing the isolation and characterization of multiple, though defective, proviruses, that represented various families.

The three other men could have provirus reservoirs in cells located in other difficult-to-study crannies of the body, such as the brain or the retina of the eye, he said.

A "'retrovirus "'is a single-stranded incorporated into the host cell genome by an integrase enzyme, at which point the retroviral DNA is referred to as a provirus.
35.
Advantages include automatic host cell division results in replication of the virus's genes, and the fact that it is nearly impossible to remove an integrated provirus from an infected cell without killing the cell.

During transcription of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 provirus, polyadenylation signals present in the 5'long terminal repeat ( LTR ) are disregarded while the identical polyadenylation signals present in the 3'LTR are utilized efficiently.
37.
During viral replication, the integrated DNA provirus is Rev . As the newly produced Rev protein accumulates in the nucleus, it binds to full-length, unspliced copies of virus RNAs and allows them to leave the nucleus.
38.
Retroviruses integrate the DNA produced by reverse transcription into the host genome as a provirus as a part of the replication process; pararetroviruses do not, although integrated genome copies of especially plant pararetroviruses can give rise to infectious virus.

However, Cu-Uvin said, up to 3 percent of the women in the Brown study did not have detectable levels of HIV in their blood but still had HIV traces in their genital fluids, indicating the presence of provirus.

Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia said they discovered the HIV provirus _ the genetic component of the AIDS virus _ still in the semen cells of four of seven men whose blood levels of HIV had been reduced to undetectable levels.
