Evidence	HIV integration within host cell genomic DNA is a requisite step of the viral infection cycle. Yet, characteristics of the sites of provirus integration within the host genome remain obscure. The authors present evidence that in diseased tissues showing a high level of HIV DNA and macrophage-associated HIV p24 antigen expression from end stage forms of HIV disease, HIV-1 integration sites were favored within genes and transcriptionally active host cell genomic loci. Using an inverse PCR (IPCR) technique that identified dominant integrated forms of HIV, clonal IPCR products were isolated from AIDS dementia, AIDS lymphoma, and angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy tissues. HIV-1 integration within host cell genomic DNA potentially represents a significant insertional mutagenic event.
