Transcriptional Restriction of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Gene Expression in Undifferentiated Primary Monocytes
12 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Monocytes are critical precursors of dendritic cells and macrophages, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). HIV-1 postentry infection is blocked in undifferentiated monocytes in vitro, while the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. HIV-1 Tat-mediated transactivation of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter is essential for HIV-1...
