Cholesterol is obligatory for polarization and chemotaxis but not for endocytosis and associated signaling from chemoattractant receptors in human neutrophils
Plasma membrane cholesterol is critical for neutrophil chemotaxis, although how cholesterol affects chemotactic signaling pathway has not been clearly delineated. Here we demonstrate that cholesterol was absol...

Effects of HIV-1 nef on cellular gene expression profiles
The early human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) accessory protein Nef makes an important contribution to virulence, but the mechanisms by which Nef influences pathogenesis remain unclear. Many well-studied effect...

Macrophage-tropic HIV and SIV envelope proteins induce a signal through the CCR5 chemokine receptor
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) enter target cells by forming a complex between the viral envelope protein and two cell-surface membrane receptors: CD4 and a 7-span t...

Molecular Functional Studies of HIV-1 REV and NEF Proteins
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the etiological agent of AIDS, preferentially infects the CD4+ helper subset of human T lymphocytes. Clinically, HIV-1 infection is characterized by a chronic phase...
