ABSTRACT:
A method of screening for compounds useful for inhibiting retrovirus propagation in a host for the retrovirus, wherein the retrovirus primes reverse transcription in the host by binding of a specific host tRNA to retrovirus RNA at at least a pair of separate binding sites on the host tRNA, comprises contacting the specific host tRNA to the retrovirus RNA in the presence of the test compound, and then determining whether the compound inhibits the binding of the specific host tRNA to the retrovirus RNA in the presence of the test compound.
