Abstract
Methods and compositions for preventing or inhibiting apoptosis are provided by this invention. The methods require introducing into a cell which may undergo apoptosis a nucleic acid molecule coding for a gene product having crmA biological activity or a crmA polypeptide. This invention also provides compositions and methods for maintaining T cell viability in a subject infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), by administering to the subject an effective amount of a nucleic acid molecule coding for a gene product having crmA biological activity or the gene product itself.
