title: Analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 LTR-LTR junctions in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of infected individuals.
abstract: Circularized DNA species containing two long terminal repeat circle junctions were analysed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals. The circle junction fragments found could be classified into four groups: fragments containing a normal circle junction, fragments with deletions at the circle junction, fragments containing the primer binding site inserted at the circle junction, and fragments containing insertions at the circle junction derived from other regions of the HIV-1 genome.
