HIV-1 Nef Antibody (01-002) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects HIV-1 Nef in HIV-1 through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. HIV-1 Nef is a crucial peripheral membrane protein that plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of HIV by modulating host cell signaling pathways and immune responses. One of the key aspects of HIV-1 Nef is its ability to interact with various cellular proteins, particularly Src-family tyrosine kinases and GTPase activators, through its SH3-binding domain. This interaction is vital for Nef′s function in manipulating the host cell environment, as HIV-1 Nef affects the phosphoinositide 3-kinase sphingomyelinase signaling pathways, leading to the downregulation of CD4 on the surface of infected T cells. By promoting the rapid endocytosis of CD4, HIV-1 Nef not only aids in the evasion of the host immune response but also enhances viral replication. Furthermore, HIV-1 Nef′s structural features, including its two relatively unstructured loops, facilitate binding to cellular proteins involved in membrane trafficking, which is essential for controlling the distribution of transmembrane proteins and ultimately for the virus′s ability to persist in the host. The unique properties of HIV-1 Nef make this protein a critical target for research aimed at understanding HIV pathogenesis and developing therapeutic strategies.
