Abstract excerpt
The HIV-1 Nef protein is important for pathogenesis, enhances viral infectivity, and regulates the sorting of at least two cellular transmembrane proteins, CD4 and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. Although several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that the Nef protein intera...
