The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transactivator (tat) protein produced in one cell activated HIV-1 promoter-directed gene expression in a second cell, provided the cells were in direct contact with one another. This observation suggests that the tat protein produced in HIV-1-infected cells has a physiological effect on neighboring cells.
1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)反式激活因子(tat)蛋白在一个细胞中产生,可激活第二个细胞中HIV-1启动子指导的基因表达,前提是这些细胞彼此直接接触。这一观察结果表明,在HIV-1感染细胞中产生的tat蛋白对邻近细胞具有生理效应。
