A Functional Role for ADAM10 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 Replication [PDF]
Background Gene trap insertional mutagenesis was used as a high-throughput approach to discover cellular genes participating in viral infection by screening libraries of cells selected for survival from lytic infection with a variety of ...

Using death to one's advantage: HIV modulation of apoptosis [PDF]
Infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with an early immune dysfunction and progressive destruction of CD4+ T lymphocytes. This progressive disappearance of T cells leads to a lack of immune control of HIV replication and to the ...

In vitro dynamics of HIV-1 BF intersubtype recombinants genomic regions involved in the regulation of gene expression [PDF]
HIV-1 intersubtype recombination is a very common phenomenon that has been shown to frequently affect different viral genomic regions. Vpr and Tat are viral proteins known to interact with viral promoter (LTR) during the replication cycle.

The Long Noncoding RNA HEAL Regulates HIV-1 Replication through Epigenetic Regulation of the HIV-1 Promoter. [PDF]
A major challenge in finding a cure for HIV-1/AIDS is the difficulty in identifying and eradicating persistent reservoirs of replication-competent provirus.

Identification of a novel retroviral gene unique to human immunodeficiency virus type 2 and simian immunodeficiency virus SIVMAC [PDF]
Human and simian immunodeficiency-associated retroviruses are extraordinarily complex, containing at least five genes, tat, art, sor, R, and 3' orf, in addition to the structural genes gag, pol, and env.

EFFICIENT PROPAGATION OF ARCHETYPE JC POLYOMAVIRUS IN COS-7 CELLS: EVALUATION OF REARRANGEMENTS WITHIN NCCR STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION DURING TRANSFECTION. [PDF]
John Cunningham virus (JCPyV) is an ubiqui-tous human pathogen that causes disease in immunocom-promised patients. The JCPyV genome is composed of an early region and a late region, which are physically sepa-rated by the ...

Anti-tumor activity mediated by protein and peptide transduction of HIV viral protein R (Vpr) [PDF]
Peptides that are capable of traversing the cell membrane, via protein transduction domains (PTDs), are attractive either directly as drugs or indirectly as carriers for the delivery of therapeutic molecules. One such PTD, a HIV-1 Tat derived peptide has

A dual function TAR Decoy serves as an anti-HIV siRNA delivery vehicle [PDF]
The TAR RNA of HIV was engineered as an siRNA delivery vehicle to develop a combinatorial therapeutic approach. The TAR backbone was found to be a versatile backbone for expressing siRNAs.
