Abstract excerpt
Nef is an important pathogenesis factor of HIV-1 with a multitude of effector functions. We have designed a broad panel of isogenic viruses encoding defined mutants of HIV-1(SF2) Nef and analyzed their biological activity in the context of productive HIV-1 infection. Analysis of subcellular localization, virion incorporation, downregulation of cell surface CD4 and MHC-I, enhancement of virion infectivity and...
