Abstract
Disclosed herein is a transgenic non-human animal carrying a transgene which expresses non-infectious HIV ribonucleic acid and complementary proteins thereof. Among the expressed proteins, which can be found in the milk, serum and several tissues, are the gag and envelope proteins. The transgenic animal is useful as a source for obtaining the complementary proteins, and as an animal model to study HIV host cell interactions and to evaluate anti-HIV drugs.
