Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Inhibits DNA Damage-Triggered Apoptosis by a Nef-Independent Mechanism
12 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
It is controversial whether the accessory human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Nef protein inhibits or enhances apoptosis. To address this issue, we investigated the effect of Nef on programmed cell death with vectors or proviral HIV-1 constructs coexpressing Nef and green fluorescent protein from single bicistronic RNAs. This approach allows us to readily identify transfected or infected cells and to...
