The results of these tests showed that the amount of Tat protein within a cell infected by HIV-1 is directly correlated to the amount of KS lesions a patient may have. These findings were essential in developing new treatments for HIV/AIDS patients who suffer from these dangerous lesions.
The findings from these tests showed a direct link between Tat protein levels and the severity of KS lesions, which led to the development of new treatments for HIV/AIDS patients with KS lesions.
