HIV-1 Infection Increases the Expression of Human Endogenous Retroviruses Type K (HERV-K) <i>in Vitro</i>
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Antibodies to HERV-K antigens have been linked to HIV-1 infection and expression of HERV-K proteins generates T-cell cytotoxic responses in many cancers. HERV-K RNA and protein abundance was measured in HIV-1-infected and control cells. In vitro exposure of HIV-1 laboratory-adapted and primary isolates on U87MG cells increased the expression of HERV-K RNA in a dose-dependent manner. HERV-K RNA and protein burdens...
