Abstract excerpt
To investigate the effect of Nef on Fas-mediated apoptosis, we compared T cells, both population and subclones stably expressing Nef from HIV-1(NL432), with Nef(-) control cells. Fas-mediated apoptosis was significantly delayed in Nef(+) cells as determined by annexin V staining and the percentage of apoptotic cells was lower in all Nef-expressing cells than in the control cells by a maximum of 10-fold. Next we...
