Abstract excerpt
The Rev protein of HIV-1, which facilitates the nuclear export of HIV-1 pre-mRNAs, has been a target for antiviral therapy. Here we describe a new strategy for inhibiting Rev function and HIV-1 replication. In contrast to previous approaches, we use a wild-type rather than a mutant Rev protein an...
