HIV-1 INFECTION OF T CELLS AND MACROPHAGES ARE DIFFERENTIALLY MODULATED BY VIRION-ASSOCIATED HCK: A NEF-DEPENDENT PHENOMENON

HIV-1 Infection of T Cells and Macrophages Are Differentially Modulated by Virion-Associated Hck: A Nef-Dependent Phenomenon

The proline repeat motif (PxxP) of Nef is required for interaction with the SH3 domains of macrophage-specific Src kinase Hck.However, the implication of this interaction for viral replication and infectivity in macrophages and T lymphocytes remains unclear.Experiments in HIV-1 infected macrophages confirmed the presence of a Nef:Hck complex which

BinR-LRP: A divide and conquer heuristic for large scale LRP with integrated microscopic agent-based transport simulation

The holistic optimisation of transportation systems is one of the key challenges in transportation science, because it requires the simultaneous consideration of the numerous interactions between the strategic planning level (e.g., the Facility Location Problem [FLP]) and the tactical and operational planning levels (e.g., Vehicle Fleet and Vehicle

Large Gaps in Canopy Reduce Road Crossing by a Gliding Mammal

Roads and traffic reduce landscape connectivity and increase rates of mortality for many species of wildlife.Species that glide from tree to tree may be strongly affected by roads and traffic if the size of the gap between trees exceeds their gliding capability.Not only are wide roads likely to reduce crossing rates, but mortality may also be incre
