The Viral Protein Tat Can Inhibit the Establishment of HIV-1 Latency
12 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The establishment of HIV-1 latency can result from limiting levels of transcription initiation or elongation factors, restrictive chromatin modifications, transcriptional interference, and insufficient Tat activity. Since the viral protein Tat can counteract many of these factors, we hypothesized that the presence of exogenous Tat during infection might inhibit the establishment of latency. This was explored...
