HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Promotes Tumor Growth and Metastasis Formation via ROS-Dependent Upregulation of Twist

Table 2

Clones of 4T1luc2 expressing consensus RT of HIV-1 clade A FSU_A strain (RT_A) and its variants with primary mutations of resistance to NRTI (RT_An) and NNRTI (RT_Ann), obtained by lentiviral transduction of 4T1luc2 cells at different multiplicities of infection (MOI).
