The tat regulatory protein of HIV-1 was expressed as a fusion protein in E. coli and used as antigen to detect antibodies against HIV-tat (anti-tat) in the serum of HIV-1 infected children and adults. HIV-1-infected children showed a higher frequency (55%) of anti-tat than HIV-1-infected adults (36%
## Abstract HIVβ1 Tat protein is an important pathogenic factor in HIVβ1βassociated neurological diseases. One hallmark of HIVβ1 infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is astrocytosis, which is characterized by elevated glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression in astrocytes. We have
## Abstract The demand for recombinant proteins for medical and industrial use is expanding rapidly and plants are now recognized as an efficient, inexpensive means of production. Although the accumulation of recombinant proteins in transgenic plants can be low, we have previously demonstrated that
HIV-1 gene expression relies upon a complex machinery that is primarily controlled by two viral regulatory proteins, Tat and Rev. Rev is involved in regulating post-transcriptional events of HIV-1 gene expression. The Tat protein transactivates transcription from the HIV-1 5Π long terminal repeat (L
