APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G mRNA Levels Do Not Correlate with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Plasma Viremia or CD4 + T-Cell Count
26 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G (hA3F and hA3G) are part of an innate mechanism of antiretroviral defense. The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein Vif targets both proteins for proteasomal degradation. Using mRNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 92 HIV-infected subjects not taking antiretroviral therapy and 19 HIV-uninfected controls, we found that hA3F (P < 0.001) and hA3G (P = 0.016)...
