Abstract excerpt
PCR was used to clone isolates of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nef gene directly from peripheral blood leukocytes of HIV-1-infected individuals. A transient expression system with human CEM T cells was used to assess the effect of nef on CD4 antigen expression on the cell surface. We show that CD4 down-regulation is a frequent property of primary HIV-1 nef alleles. Mutations in conserved amino...
