Abstract
This invention relates to the discovery that the transcription factors Pbx1 and HMG I are involved in retrovirus, e.g., HIV, replication. Thus, the invention provides methods of identifying modulators of these proteins. Such modulators can be used as reagents in in vitro assays to modulate expression of retroviral sequences and may be used to inhibit HIV replication in vivo.
