Nef induced transcriptional alteration of the six genes measured by qPCR.
Real Time RT-PCR was performed to analyse the expression of the six genes. Fold change in expression upon Nef transfection is presented in respect to control. Except VDAC1 all 5 genes were downregulated by Nef variants.

HIV-1-related factors interact with p53 to influence cellular processes
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the primary epidemic strain in China. Its genome contains two regulatory genes (tat and rev), three structural genes (gag, pol, and env), and four accessory genes (nef, vpr, vpu, and vif).

Expression, purification and biochemical characterisation of the human immunodificiency virus 1 nef gene product [PDF]
The human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV‐1) nef gene encoded by the HIV‐1 isolate lymphadenopathy‐associated virus type 1 was expressed in Escherichia coli under the control of the tac promoter. The protein is found mainly in the soluble part of the bacterial lysate; a simple twocolumn purification scheme has been developed allowing isolation of the ...

Exploiting knowledge of immune selection in HIV-1 to detect HIV-specific CD8 T-cell responses
Since HLA-restricted cytotoxic T-cell responses select specific polymorphisms in HIV-1 sequences and HLA diversity is relatively static in human populations, we investigated the use of peptide epitopes based on sites of HLA-associated adaptation in HIV-1

Overexpression of recombinant HIV-1 Subtype C Tat and Nef in a Salmonella vaccine vector
Tat and Nef are very important regulatory proteins of HIV-1. They enhance viral replication and down-regulate expression of MHC Class I molecules, respectively. The antigens are now considered to be targets for HIV vaccine development.

Signature molecules expressed differentially in a liver disease stage-specific manner by HIV-1 and HCV co-infection. [PDF]
To elucidate HIV-1 co-infection-induced acceleration of HCV liver disease and identify stage-specific molecular signatures, we applied a new high-resolution molecular screen, the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Transcriptome Array (HTA2.0), to HCV-mono- and ...

HLA-Associated viral mutations are common in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 elite controllers
Elite controllers (EC) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HTV-1) maintain viremia below the limit of detection without antiretroviral treatment. Virus-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes are believed to play a crucial role in viral containment ...

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...
