Induction of apoptosis by the Vpr protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 occurs independently of G2 arrest of the cell cycle

M Nishizawa, M Kamata, T Mojin, Y Nakai, Y Aida - Virology, 2000 - Elsevier
The HIV-1 accessory gene product Vpr can inhibit cell proliferation via cell cycle arrest at the
