Abstract

During the life cycle of retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), integration of a double stranded DNA copy of viral genome into the host cellular DNA is essentially required. The integration sites of HIV-1 genome within the persistently infected human leukemia cell lines were investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) process using a NarI/XhoI fragment of pNL432 clone of HIV-1 as a probe. In L-2, 15L, 26L and 5H cell lines, each HIV-1 integration site was assigned to 8p11.2, Xp11.3-p11.4, 20q13.1-q13.3, and 21q22.1-q22.3, respectively. In the MOLT-4/LAV-1 cell line HIV-1 was integrated on two chromosomes 1q21-q23 and 8q11-q12. These integration sites appeared to be correspondent to loci of oncogenes and genes related to DNA synthesis and cell cycle.
