Molecular and mechanistic analysis of HIV Nef
2004-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The <i>nef</i> gene of HIV is required for complete viral pathogenicity. As an accessory gene with no known paradigm its principle function has been enigmatic. Nef is capable of a variety of in vitro effects including CD4 downregulation, MHC I down regulation, alteration of T cell signalling activity and enhancement of viral infectivity. The effect of Nef on host CD4 T cell signalling paths is intriguing as it is...
