Player![]() ![]() In vivo, it is required for efficient viral replication and pathogenicity ( 1). ![]() Cooperation between those mechanisms may enable Nef to efficiently inhibit MHC II function.Īmong the few proteins encoded by HIV, Nef seems to exhibit multiple functions. Furthermore, the doses of Nef required to observe each of the two effects were clearly different, suggesting that Nef could affect MHC II peptide presentation through distinct mechanisms. Response patterns to previously characterized mutations of Nef differed for Nef-induced modulation of mature and immature MHC II. Other proteins of the endocytic pathway were not affected by Nef expression, suggesting that Nef effects on MHC II did not result from a general alteration of the endocytic pathway. Nef was the only HIV-1 gene product to possess this capacity, which was also observed in the context of the whole HIV-1 genome. Nef mediates this effect by reducing the surface level of mature (i.e., peptide-loaded) MHC II while increasing levels of immature MHC II, which are functionally incompetent because of their association with the invariant chain. ![]() Here, we show that HIV-1 Nef inhibits MHC II restricted peptide presentation to specific T cells and thus may affect the induction of antiviral immune responses. HIV-1-infected cells can avoid cytotoxic T lymphocyte killing by Nef-mediated down-regulation of surface MHC I. ![]()

This was just so well done and at it's heart it is a love story and a story about loss. But you do get glimpses of what happened down there at the bottom of the sea during that six months and it becomes increasingly more and more creepy as told from Leah in an opposing timeline (oldest to newest.) And it is a very clever way to tell this story - one wife telling it in real time, working backwards and the other slowly giving you pieces of what happened six months ago and moving forward until the two timelines converge in a fairly unexpected result. It's primarily told from the perspective of the wife, Miri, after her partner, Leah returns from a work disaster where her submarine dropped to the bottom of the sea floor without power and did not resurface for six months. 4.5 stars for this thoroughly entertaining but equally weird story about a married lesbian couple struggling to stay together after an unnatural and tragic event that separated them for six months. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments City spies book 3![]() ![]() ![]() There are some fantastic elements included this time around. ![]() ![]() Pack your bags!

I’ll start with the themes first: while many of the messages I thought were not extremely subtle-to say the least, since justice and violence is the focus of the story-they didn’t feel forced at all, and these are things that a princess such as Alyrra/Thorn would be focused on, so the characters talking about them so much was realistic. She also turns some elements completely on their head: rather than a forced switch, it’s a magical one there are more characters and more worldbuilding there are doubts and lots of talk about justice and violence. ![]() Khanani plays around with the familiar aspects of the original: the wind that talks to the princess, the horse head that speaks, even the focus on the princess’s hair is slightly winked at. ![]() Rating: 4/5 Thorn is an expansive, rich retelling of “The Goose Girl” fairy tale. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Love All by Rachel Spangler![]() ![]() She leads a comfortable life with good job at Bramble University, a long-term but closeted relationship, friends that she can count on, and everything she thinks she wants, so why is she so drawn to a rabble-rouser like Raine St. She’s been an author, columnist, and reviewer for over a decade.
