Abstract Background HIV-1 Nef critically contributes to AIDS in part by augmenting virus titers in infected individuals. Analyzing which of Nefs activities contribute to HIV pathogenesis has been hampered by the lack of a cell culture model in which Nef exerts pronounced effects on HIV replication. The human lymphoid aggregate culture HLAC from tonsil maintains the cell populations and cytokine milieu found in vivo supports a productive infection without exogenous stimulation and Nef contributes to efficient HIV-1 replication as well as CD4 T cell depletion in this experimental ex vivo-model. Results To identify determinants in Nef that mediate these activities we .
