We have previously shown that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virions which have their own nef gene deleted and are trans complemented to contain HIV-2 or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) Nef become resistant to treatment with cyclosporin A. To expand and confirm these studies, we have tested an HIV-1 isolate in which the HIV-1 nef gene has been replaced by the nef gene from SIV in a multiround infectivity assay using more physiologically relevant cell types. Our results confirm that HIV-1 virions that contain SIV nef can replicate in a cyclophilin-independent fashion.
我们之前已经表明,人类免疫缺陷病毒1型(HIV-1)病毒粒子若自身的nef基因缺失,并通过反式互补使其含有HIV-2或猴免疫缺陷病毒(SIV)的Nef,则会对环孢菌素A治疗产生抗性。为了扩展并确认这些研究,我们在一轮多轮感染性试验中使用了更具生理相关性的细胞类型,对一种HIV-1分离株进行了测试,该分离株中的HIV-1 nef基因已被SIV的nef基因所取代。我们的结果证实,含有SIV nef的HIV-1病毒粒子能够以不依赖亲环素的方式进行复制。
