| Summary | Annotation The cumulative death toll from AIDS has reached 16.3 million individuals, and more than 33 million persons are currently living with HIV-1. Although it is one of the most-widely studied viruses, many mysteries remain about this pathogen. In this comprehensive two-volume set, <b>HIV-1: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis</b>, leading investigators in HIV research present a timely picture of the molecular mechanisms which guide HIV-1 expression and replication and provide the most current clinical strategies for combating this virus. Twenty-six teams of experts unravel structure-function interactions of HIV-1 with host cells and the resulting pathological consequences, review strategies fo treatment, and describe ongoing progress in developing animal models and prophylactic vaccines.<br />The two volumes, covering viral mechanisms and clinical applications, respectively, are written by an international collection of AIDS expers from North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.<br /><br />Key Features<br />* Detailed insights into viral packaging, expression, and assembly<br />* Mechanistic understanding of how HIV interacts with receptors and infects cells<br />* Delineation of virally encoded regulatory processes unique to HIV<br />* Clinical Applications:<br />* An updated review of current chemotherapeutics for HIV<br />* New concepts in the discovery and design of novel anti-HIV drugs<br />* The latest developments in HIV-vaccine research |
