Les gènes du V.I.H.-1 comportent les trois gènes structuraux fondamentaux des rétrovirus, présents à la fois dans les cellules infectées et dans les particules virales matures. Le gène gag (ce qui signifie gène de l'antigène de groupe) qui code pour les protéines de nucléotide; le gène pol (pour polymérase) qui détermine la synthèse de l'enzyme caractéristique des rétrovirus, la transcriptase inverse (ou reverse transcriptase); à son extrémité existe un petit gène qui code pour une protéase dont le rôle est de cliver les protéines produites par le gène gag; le gène env (pour enveloppe) qui permet la synthèse des glycoprotéines de l'enveloppe virale. 2, record 2, French, - g%C3%A8ne%20enveloppe

Characterized by a gradual deterioration of immune function. During the course of infection, crucial immune cells called CD4+ T cells are disabled and killed, and their numbers progressively decline. CD4+ T cells play a crucial role in the immune response, signaling other cells in the immune system to perform their special functions. 4, record 3, English, - HIV%20infection
