Effects of reduced gag cleavage efficiency on HIV-1 Gag-Pol package
Background HIV-1 pol, which encodes enzymes required for virus replication, is initially translated as a Gag-Pol fusion protein. Gag-Pol is incorporated into virions via interactions with Gag precursor Pr55 gag .

Dynamics of HIV-1 assembly and release. [PDF]
Assembly and release of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) occur at the plasma membrane of infected cells and are driven by the Gag polyprotein. Previous studies analyzed viral morphogenesis using biochemical methods and static images, while dynamic and ...

Full length HIV-1 Gag determines protease inhibitor susceptibility within in vitro assays [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: There is evidence that gag contributes to protease inhibitor susceptibility in treatment-experienced patients. Moreover, protease inhibitor resistance-associated mutations can arise in gag in the absence of protease mutations in vitro.

Priming with a recombinant pantothenate auxotroph of Mycobacterium bovis BCG and boosting with MVA elicits HIV-1 Gag specific CD8+ T cells. [PDF]
A safe and effective HIV vaccine is required to significantly reduce the number of people becoming infected with HIV each year. In this study wild type Mycobacterium bovis BCG Pasteur and an attenuated pantothenate auxotroph strain (BCGΔpanCD) that is ...

Clustered mutations in HIV-1 gag are consistently required for escape from HLA-B27-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses [PDF]
The immune response to HIV-1 in patients who carry human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 is characterized by an immunodominant response to an epitope in p24 gag (amino acids 263-272, KR WIILGLNK).

The role of the HIV-1 protease substrate in therapy resistance [PDF]
In Switzerland and Germany up to a half of the first-line regimens include protease inhibitors (PIs) [1, 2]. Although in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS) most patients under antiretroviral therapy (ART) have suppressed viral loads [3], every third ...

HIV protein profile characteristics in patients with first-time detected infection
The HIV-infection continues to be one of the most large-scale epidemics worldwide. Many techniques have been developed to detect this disease, but the Western blot based on the identification of specific viral proteins remains the most commonly used ...
