APOBEC3G/CEM15 (hA3G) mRNA Levels Associate Inversely with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Viremia
15 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3G/CEM15 (hA3G) is a novel host factor that confers resistance to lentiviral infection under experimental conditions. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1, however, produces viral infectivity factor (Vif) that targets hA3G for proteolysis, thereby escaping this defense system. To examine hA3G's contribution to the protection against HIV disease progression in humans, we quantified hA3G mRNA levels in...
