HIV-1 Nef: at the crossroads [PDF]
The development of anti-virals has blunted the AIDS epidemic in the Western world but globally the epidemic has not been curtailed. Standard vaccines have not worked, and attenuated vaccines are not being developed because of safety concerns. Interest in attenuated vaccines has centered on isolated cases of patients infected with HIV-1 containing a ...

Le Narrenschiff de Sébastien Brant à l’épreuve du filtre foucaldien
Pour illustrer sa thèse historico-philosophique du partage entre une expérience cosmique et une expérience critique de la folie à l’aube de l’âge moderne, Michel Foucault mobilise au tout début de l’Histoire de la folie un ouvrage jusque là peu connu du ...

Introduction. Nef provides high level of HIV-1 replication due to synergy of its multiple functions and is an important factor in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. Nef is considered as a target for development of therapeutic agents.

Construction of a Prokaryotic Expression Vector harboring Two HIV-1 Accessory Genes
Background and objectives: HIV-1 Nef and Vpr antigens have been described as suitable candidates for therapeutic HIV vaccine development. The aim of this study was to generate Nef-Vpr fusion gene construct and to clone the construct into pET-23a (+), a ...

HIV-1 Nef down-modulates C-C and C-X-C chemokine receptors via ubiquitin and ubiquitin-independent mechanism. [PDF]
Human and Simian Immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV) encode an accessory protein, Nef, which is a pathogenesis and virulence factor. Nef is a multivalent adapter that dysregulates the trafficking of many immune cell receptors, including ...

Tetherin represents an important barrier for successful cross-species transmissions of primate lentiviruses. HIV-1 overcame this obstacle by using Vpu as a countermeasure. However, Kluge and collaborators now show that HIV-1 group O uses Nef to antagonize tetherin, and that this activity may have contributed to its spread in West-Central Africa.

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 ...
