Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 NL4-3 Nef is necessary and sufficient to induce a severe AIDS-like disease in transgenic (Tg) mice when the protein is expressed under the regulatory sequences of the human CD4 gene. We have now assayed additional Nef alleles (SF2, JR-CSF, YU10x, and NL4-3 [T71R] Nef alleles), including some from long-term nonprogressors (AD-93, 032an, and 039nm...
