- HIV-1 IN The results are shown in “: HIV-1 IN” in FIG. As with MuLV, HIV-1 was frequently integrated at a specific position, and when the base in the motif sequence was altered, the frequency of integration was dramatically reduced.
- sequences (a) to (d) are described in SEQ ID NOs: 4, 6, 8, and 11, respectively. These sequences all contain the palindromic sequence of the present invention, but the sequence of (c) is upstream and downstream adjacent.
- the nucleic acid having the short sequence (c) is a comparative example that does not satisfy the conditions of the nucleic acid of the present invention.
