HIV-1 Vpr: a closer look at the multifunctional protein from the structural perspective.

abstract：:Immunization is an important measure to protect HIV-infected children and adults against certain vaccine preventable diseases. However, the antibody response, which is associated with the level of CD4+ T cell count, is frequently impaired in this group of patients. Certain vaccines enhance virus replication and transi...
