HIV‐1 establishes immediate latency in T cells expressing the viral Nef protein [PDF]
Nef is a viral protein often omitted from HIV‐1 reporter viruses. Consequently, its role in viral latency is unclear. We developed three novel dual reporter HIV‐1 derivatives that express Nef and allow for detection of latent and productive infection. Using these reporters, we show that Nef does not affect the establishment of immediate viral latency ...

Formation of a Unique Cluster of G-Quadruplex Structures in the HIV-1 nef Coding Region: Implications for Antiviral Activity [PDF]
G-quadruplexes are tetraplex structures of nucleic acids that can form in G-rich sequences. Their presence and functional role have been established in telomeres, oncogene promoters and coding regions of the human chromosome.

Inhibition of Protein Synthesis by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 nef Gene Product
During productive infection of human T lymphocytes in cell culture, the expression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is temporally regulated by virus-encoded regulatory proteins. Among these Nef, whose function has not been clearly elucidated, is thought to alter CD4+ T cells.

Regulation of HIV-1 transcription in cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been shown to replicate productively in cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage, although replication occurs to a lesser extent than in infected T cells.

Genetic diversity of Brazilian isolates of feline immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
We isolated Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) from three adult domestic cats, originating from two open shelters in Brazil. Viruses were isolated from PBMC following co-cultivation with the feline T-lymphoblastoid cell line MYA-1.

HLA-Associated viral mutations are common in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 elite controllers [PDF]
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 ...

Notch4 activation aggravates NF-κB-mediated inflammation in HIV-1-associated nephropathy
Notch pathway activation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of many glomerular diseases. We have previously shown that Notch4 expression was upregulated in various renal cells in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated nephropathy (HIVAN ...

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 nef gene product was expressed as an N-terminal fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the baculovirus system. The resulting nefGST fusion protein was found to be authentically myristylated at the N terminus and could be purified to homogeneity by one-step affinity chromatography on ...
