ABSTRACT:
This invention provides cellular gene products which have anti-apoptotic activity in HIV-1 infected cells. Other pro-apoptotic genes and methods of use thereof are also disclosed. The compositions of the invention may be used to advantage to develop novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of HIV infection. The compositions of the invention may also be used to advantage to develop novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of disorders associated with inordinate cellular apoptosis.
