Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HIV-1 Nef is an important accessory protein with multiple effector functions. Genetic studies of the HIV-1 Nef gene show extensive genetic diversity and the functional studies have been carried out mostly with Nef derived from regions dominated by subtype B (North America & Europe). OBJECTIVE: This study was carried out to characterize genetic variations of the Nef gene from HIV-1 infected individuals...
