The large extracellular loop of CD63 interacts with gp41 of HIV-1 and is essential for establishing the virological synapse
11 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) persists lifelong in infected individuals and has evolved unique strategies in order to evade the immune system. One of these strategies is the direct cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1. The formation of a virological synapse (VS) between donor and target cell is important for this process.
