ABSTRACT:
The invention provides transgenic animals comprising a lentiviral transgene, such as an HIV transgene. Also within the scope of the invention are cells and eggs from the transgenic animal. Further included are methods for identifying therapeutic compounds for preventing lentiviral infection and treating associated disease (e.g. AIDS).
