Abstract excerpt
Nef is one of the accessory proteins of human immunodeficiency viruses. Here, we noted that the relative expression level of Nef(NL4-3) is much lower than that of NefJR-CSF in HEK293 cells. By evaluating the expression level using a Nef mutant, it was indicated that amino acids 129-206 of Nef(NL4-3), that is, the C-terminal region named NLAA129-206, could contain the region responsible for the induction of the...
