Confirmation of subtype D psi character. (A) Schematic of the backbone of the mutants examined in this study. (B) The genome package efficiency of the HIV-1 ELI (GenBank accession number: K03454) compared to NL4-3 (GenBank accession number: AF324493). The average of five independent experiments is shown. The error bar represents SEM. (C) Phylogenetic tree concerning packaging signal (psi) region of various HIV-1 subtypes, including SIVcpz.
