A protein of this virus binds to the trans-activation response element. The capsid of this virus is made up of p24, which is encoded by the gag gene. 
A protein of this virus binds to the trans-activation response element. The capsid of this virus is made up of p24, which is encoded by the gag gene. A test called the Trofile assay is used to determine which chemokine receptor, CCR5 or CXCR4, this virus is utilizing. Glycosylation of gp120 can hide its epitopes from recognition. This virus can be treated with AZT, which is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Diagnosed using an ELISA and Western blot, this virus infects CD4 cells. For 10 points, name this retrovirus that destroys the immune system and causes AIDS.
