Virus-induced vesicular acidification enhances HIV immune evasion.

Marianne E. Yaple-Maresh, Giselle G. Flores-McGregor, Gretchen E. Zimmerman, Cuie Chen, Kathleen L. Collins

This study shows that HIV infection reduces NHE6, leading to endosomal acidification that aids immune evasion by enhancing Nef-mediated MHC-I downmodulation.
