Abstract excerpt
Point mutations in SIVmac239 Nef disrupting CD4 downmodulation and enhancement of virion infectivity attenuate viral replication in acutely infected rhesus macaques, but changes selected later in infection fully restore Nef function (A. J. Iafrate et al., J. Virol. 74:9836-9844, 2000). To further evaluate the relevance of these Nef functions for viral persistence and disease progression, we analyzed an SIVmac239...
