Abstract excerpt
Tat, the transactivation factor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), contains the highly conserved tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) that characterizes sites for integrin-mediated cell adhesion. The tat protein was assayed for cell attachment activity by measuring the adhesion of monocytic, T lymphocytic, and skeletal muscle-derived cell lines to tat-coated substratum. All cell lines tested bound...
