Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: SAMHD1 and the CDKN1A (p21) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor have been postulated to mediate HIV-1 restriction in CD4+ cells. We have shown that p21 affects HIV replication through its effect on SAMHD1. Thus, we aimed at evaluating the expression of SAMHD1 and p21 in different HIV+ phenotypic groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated SAMHD1 and CDKN1A mRNA expression in CD4+ T cells from HIV+...
