The big picture Would decreasing Samhd1 levels allow for better immune control of HIV-1 infection?
Conclusion and perspectives SAMHD1 is the dendritic and myeloid cells-specific HIV-1-restriction factor counteracted by Vpx • Understanding SAMHD1 function • - What is the natural function of SAMHD1 in Macrophages and Dendritic cells? • What substrate for SAMHD1? • Why has HIV-1 not evolved means to counteract SAMHD1? • What is the involvement of SAMHD1 in the physiopathology of AIDS ? • In non human primates • In HIV elite controllers, LTNPS • Implication for Dendritic cell–based vaccine development.
