title: Ultrastructural characterization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Gag-containing particles assembled in a recombinant adenovirus vector system.
abstract: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag protein was expressed in A549 cells infected with recombinant adenovirus types 4 and 7, each carrying the HIV-1 gag and pro genes. The Gag protein was assembled into enveloped virus-like particles that budded from plasma and vacuolar membranes. The particles, isolated by precipitation and isopycnic density centrifugation, contained both processed and unprocessed Gag-associated proteins.
