Abstract excerpt
F12 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nef is a naturally occurring nef mutant cloned from the provirus of a nonproductive, nondefective, and interfering HIV-1 variant (F12-HIV). We have already shown that cells stably transfected with a vector expressing the F12-HIV nef allele do not downregulate CD4 receptors and, more peculiarly, become resistant to the replication of wild type (wt) HIV. In order to...
