Nef dimerization defect abrogates HIV viremia and associated immune dysregulation in the Bone Marrow-Liver-Thymus-Spleen (BLTS) humanized mouse model
2021-01-21
Abstract excerpt
Loss of function mutations in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative factor (Nef) gene are associated with reduced viremia, robust T cell immune responses, and delayed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) progression in humans. In vitro studies have shown that mutations in the Nef dimerization interface significantly attenuate viral replication and impair host defense. However, in vivo , mechanisti...
