Abstract excerpt
The effects of the viral gene nef on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in culture were investigated using nef alleles of the HIV-1 IIIB and ELI strains. The results demonstrate significant allelic variation in the effect of nef on virus replication in both an established human CD4+ T-cell line and primary human lymphocytes. In the context of the HXB2 virus, the ELI nef allele but not the...
