Vpr in Plasma of HIV Type 1-Positive Patients Is Correlated with The HIV Type 1 RNA Titers

Abstract excerpt

Vpr, an accessory gene product of HIV-1, has been reported in the plasma of HIV-1-positive patients, and exogenous Vpr induces the reactivation of viral production from latently infected cells and the apoptosis of T cells in vitro. These observations imply that Vpr is important in AIDS development, but the clinical relevance of the findings cannot be evaluated fully because the actual plasma Vpr concentration in...
