Primers harboring the appropriate mutations were chemically synthesized (IDT) and then used in a 2-step PCR reaction and inserted into pcDNA4TO-2xStrep-Rev (Invitrogen mammalian expression vector, described in10) via Gibson Assembly for testing in export assays. A similar strategy was undertaken to make viral mutants in a rev-in-nef virus as described previously10,15.
