Restoration of Wild-Type Infectivity to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Strains Lacking nef by Intravirion Reverse Transcription
15 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Nef protein exerts several effects, both on infected cells and as a virion protein, which work together to enhance viral replication. One of these activities is the ability to enhance infectivity and the formation of proviral DNA. The mechanism of this enhancement remains incompletely understood. We show that virions with nef deleted can be restored to wild-type...
