Effect on HIV-1 gene expression, Tat-Vpr interaction and cell apoptosis by natural variants of HIV-1 Tat exon 1 and Vpr from Northern India.

BACKGROUND: Since HIV-1 Tat and Vpr genes are involved in promoter transactivation, apoptosis, etc, we carried out studies to find out nature and extent of natural variation in the two genes from seropositive patients from Northern India and determined their functional implications. METHODS: HIV-1 t...
