In vivo analysis of highly conserved Nef activities in HIV-1 replication and pathogenesis
30 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The HIV-1 accessory protein, Nef, is decisive for progression to AIDS. In vitro characterization of the protein has described many Nef activities of unknown in vivo significance including CD4 downregulation and a number of activities that depend on Nef interacting with host SH3 domain proteins. Here, we use the BLT humanized mouse model of HIV-1 infection to assess their impact on viral replication...
