Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that the naturally occurring splice variant stromal cell-derived factor 1gamma/CXCL12gamma is the most potent CXCL12 isoform in blocking X4 HIV-1, with weak chemotactic activity. A conserved BBXB domain (B for basic and X for any residue) located in the N terminus ((24)KHLK(27)) is found in all six isoforms of CXCL12. To determine whether the potent antiviral activity of CXCL12gamma is...
