HIV-1 Uncoating and Nuclear Import Precede the Completion of Reverse Transcription in Cell Lines and in Primary Macrophages
An assembly of capsid proteins (CA) form the mature viral core enclosing the HIV-1 ribonucleoprotein complex.Discrepant findings have been reported regarding the cellular sites and the extent of core disassembly (uncoating) in infected cells.Here, we combined single-virus imaging and time-of-drug-addition assays to elucidate the kinetic relationshi
