Abstract excerpt
The APOBEC3H gene is polymorphic in humans, with four major population-dependent haplotypes that encode proteins with different levels of antiviral activity. Haplotype II, present most frequently in African populations, encodes the most stable protein and is most active against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). In contrast to human APOBEC3G, which can be completely counteracted by HIV-1 Vif, the...
