Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3G restricts retrovirus replication through inducing guanosine-to-adenosine (G-to-A) hypermutations in viral DNA. Its role in brain "intrinsic immunity" has not been elucidated nor has it been convincingly demonstrated which brain cell compartments produce this defense factor in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and antiretroviral therapy. Here, we...
