Interaction of Virion Protein Vpr of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 with Cellular Transcription Factor Sp1 and trans-Activation of Viral Long Terminal Repeat
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a result of replication of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) predominantly in CD4+ T lymphocytes and macrophages. However, most of these cells in vivo are immunologically quiescent, a condition restricting HIV-1 replication. Vpr is an HIV-1 virion protein suspected to enhance HIV-1 replication in vivo. We demonstrate in this report that Vpr specifically...
