3D Animation of HIV Replication
This is an outstanding 3D animation of HIV replication cycle. I especially loved the entry part, which is like watching a science fiction movie.
The animation is fairly accurate representation of what we know about the this viruses life cycle today, except the part on entry of viral DNA into nucleus. Based on our current knowledge, import of viral DNA into nucleus is not dependent on integrase but other viral and host proteins that are still elusive. Integrase is however necessary for the integration of virus DNA into host genome.

[...] These are getting a lot of press lately because they appear to work well and they target parts of the viral life-cycle that available anti-retroviral drugs do not. Who knows, maybe I will end up working with these [...]

reverse transcriptase doesnt just run through the genome twice. its primed by cellular t-RNA (which anneals to the pbs sequence), then the five prime end is replicated, then rnase removes the hybridized, newly constructed primer and it(the primer) migrates to the 3′ end and the minus strand dna is produced (as rna is removed). Plus strand Dna primes the polypurine tract downstream of the env gene, and the five prime end of the plus strand is synthd by td dna dependent dna poly. Rnase degrades the trna and ppt before a second jump occurs, this time the plus strand of dna binds the pbs by the 3′end of the - dna strand– and only then do you get to synth the rest and have a dsdna viral genome

This is an amazing animation of HIV replication cycle. It is very informative and useful for training purposes. Can you please send it to me for teaching purposes?
Thx

I need this for a biology proyect!! can you send me the video? It`s amazing..
August 6, 2007 at 10:34 pm
This is really cool stuff. Listening to it saved me a lot of work.
August 8, 2007 at 10:31 pm
It is very useful educational film
August 22, 2007 at 11:07 pm
Not only does this demonstration animate HIV viral replication, it demonstrates the central dogma of molecular biology which is Replication of DNA, Transcription of RNA, and Translation into protein synthesis. Excellent work.

beautiful animation for teaching!
August 29, 2007 at 9:03 am
Good animation for learning and teaching or explaining. how do i get it for offline use?
September 19, 2007 at 6:55 am
A fantastic Education Material on understanding the concept of Viral Replication.
I will be greatful If I could get a Downloadable Animation for the benefit of our Students.
September 25, 2007 at 1:44 pm
I really appreciate ur work and the best animation i have ever seen in my life .thanks
October 18, 2007 at 10:36 pm
me parece excelente el video, muy ilustrativo, deja muy claro como sucede la replicación viral y como se inhibe por medio del TARV. Me gustaría tenerlo para poder mostrarselo a mis pacientes. I don’t speak english very good. How I can download the video for the benefit of mine patients?
November 8, 2007 at 10:35 am
how can i have this video im working on retrovirus..send to my email plz. Thank you
November 8, 2007 at 5:18 pm
This is a great movie - is it available for teaching purposes?
January 5, 2008 at 8:01 pm
How can I get this animation offline. Is it possible to have on the desktop as screensaver?
January 9, 2008 at 9:08 am
Same, here loved it, but was thinking how i can have this to share it during my prensentation to Medical and nusring students?
January 15, 2008 at 12:32 pm
very interesting can send to my email as soon as possible coz i need it 4 homework purposes
January 16, 2008 at 6:45 am
i am doing pg. how can i have this video offline please send me this video.
January 20, 2008 at 8:18 pm
I would love a copy of this video, add to my website as well as to us in presentation when I speak. This is probably one of the best representations I have seen to date!
February 19, 2008 at 9:31 am
it is a very good explanation with 3d animation
March 1, 2008 at 11:26 pm
This is an amazing video. It would be of great benefit to new students studying and working in the field of HIV. Could I be sent a copy via email. I would happily pay for a copy.
March 14, 2008 at 6:28 pm
The best and highly informative animation
March 29, 2008 at 8:38 pm
The BEST YouTube animation (not just animation, the best video ever) I have ever seen. Thank you very much. I intend to upload the same should I wish to discuss about HIV in my blog.
April 2, 2008 at 3:45 pm
This video is great! If you are making downloadable copies available for teaching I would love to have one.
Thank you!
