Replication of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Strategies for Inhibition

Bio/Technology volume 6, pages 794–799 (1988)Cite this article

Abstract

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been implicated as the etiological agent of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related disorders. Much current research effort is aimed at elucidating the structural features of HIV particles and the molecular mechanisms of viral replication. Importantly, cellular factors involved in the regulation of HIV gene expression are also being investigated. These combined efforts should provide a better understanding of AIDS pathogenesis, and contribute to the development of anti-HIV pharmaceuticals.
