To achieve optimal replicative efficiency, HIV-1 manipulates host cell processes such as gene regulation, chromatin remodeling, signal transduction, and regulations of major histocompatibility complex class 1 surface expression, cell cycle, and apoptosis, as well as overcoming host antiviral mechanisms and targeting bystander cells (50, 54). These multiple activities of HIV are mediated…
