Abstract excerpt
Here we show potent inhibition of HIV-1 replication in a human T cell line and primary human CD4(+) cells by expressing a single antiviral protein. Nullbasic is a mutant form of the HIV-1 Tat protein that was previously shown to strongly inhibit HIV-1 replication in nonhematopoietic cell lines by targeting three steps of HIV-1 replication: reverse transcription, transport of viral mRNA, and trans-activation of...
