Where Is the HIV Protein Rev Located in Infected Cells?

HIV/AIDS remains a threat to global health. Identifying where HIV proteins are located in infected human cells is an important step in creating effective drugs against the virus. In this simulation, you’ll investigate the location of the HIV Rev protein with the help of cellular fractionation, Western blotting, and fluorescence microscopy.  The HIV Life Cycle Explained The Life Cycle of HIV - How the Virus Co-Opts the Cell The HIV Life Cycle and Ways to Fight the Virus The Berlin Patient - Cured of HIV
