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
