Excerpt

The events during host virus interaction pave the way to differential outcomes in HIV-1 disease progression rates. We have earlier shown that HIV-1Nef gene harbors target sites for the human microRNA, miRNA 29a/b. Over expression of miR 29a/b could reduce virus levels by targeting the Nef gene. We hypothesized that differential expression of the microRNA maybe a protective factor in AIDS progression. …
