A Single Amino Acid of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 Capsid Affects Its Replication in the Presence of Cynomolgus Monkey and Human TRIM5αs
3 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) strains vary widely in their abilities to grow in Old World monkey (OWM) cells such as those of cynomolgus monkeys (CM). We evaluated eight HIV-2 isolates for their sensitivities to CM TRIM5alpha, an anti-HIV factor in OWM cells. We found that different HIV-2 isolates showed differences in their sensitivities to CM TRIM5alpha. Sequence analysis showed that...
