Capsid Processing Requirements for Abrogation of Fv1 and Ref1 Restriction
28 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Murine leukemia virus is restricted in mouse cells lines by a host factor known as Fv1 and in human cell lines by Ref1. Genetic evidence indicates that these restriction factors target the virus capsid (CA) protein. Restriction can be overcome by adding virus at a high multiplicity of infection, indicating that the restriction factors can be saturated. Cells preexposed to restricted virus will allow infection by...
