Abstract excerpt
The ability of specific virally encoded proteins to down-regulate MHC class I molecules may enable infected cells to elude killing by CTL. In the case of HIV-1, Nef appears to be responsible for this effect. Thus, interfering with Nef-induced MHC class I down-regulation would be a strategy for increasing HIV-1-specific CTL activity, particularly towards long-lived T cell populations such as memory T cells that...
