ABSTRACT:
This invention related to constructs comprising mutant HIV genomes having an alteration in a nucleotide sequence which is critical for genomic RNA packaging and non-infectious, immunogenic HIV particles produced by expression of these constructs in mammalian cells. Cell lines which stably produce non-infectious, immunogenic HIV particles are also included. Prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines, diagnostic reagents, and related methods are further described.
