Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of HIV-1 accessory proteins (Nef, Vif, Vpr, and Vpu) as potential vaccine candidates and biomarkers for HIV-1 infection detection.
- It found that combinations of these proteins led to a stronger immune response in mice, with Nef, Vpu, and Vif showing significant Th1 responses, while Vpr leaned towards Th2 responses.
- Notably, Vpu emerged as a promising biomarker for distinguishing between treated and untreated HIV-1 infected individuals, suggesting its potential utility in both vaccine development and diagnostic applications.
