The Nef-Infectivity Enigma: Mechanisms of Enhanced Lentiviral Infection
The Nef protein is an essential factor for lentiviral pathogenesis in humans and other simians. Despite a multitude of functions attributed to this protein, the exact role of Nef in disease progression remains unclear. One of its most intriguing functions is the ability of Nef to enhance the infecti...
