A study in The Journal of Cell Biology, published by the Rockefeller Univ. Press, identifies a motor protein that ferries HIV to the plasma membrane, helping the virus escape from macrophages. HIV reproduces inside disease-fighting T cells, killing them in the process. But the virus can also replicate in macrophages, which survive infection and serve as reservoirs of HIV. In T cells, new viral particles are formed at the plasma membrane, but in macrophages the viruses assemble inside cytoplasmic containers called virus-containing compartments (VCCs). To break out of a macrophage, a virus particle therefore has to travel to the plasma membrane. Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news/2012/10/protein-helps-hiv-evade-microphages
