Endocytic Host Cell Machinery Plays a Dominant Role in Intracellular Trafficking of Incoming Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 in Human Placental Trophoblasts
12 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Vertical transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the primary cause of infection by this retrovirus in infants. In this study, we report for the first time that there is a correlation between endocytic uptake of HIV-1 and virus gene expression in polarized trophoblasts. To shed light on the relationship between endocytosis and the fate of HIV-1 in polarized trophoblasts, the step-by-step...
