Protein clues to better HIV-1 treatment

A tri-nation team of scientists has for the first time made an in-depth analysis of the genetic variation in one of the auxillary proteins called Vpr present in the killer virus HIV-11. The study will help overcome the problems posed by the huge genetic variability in the treatment of HIV-1 infected individuals.
