Abstract excerpt
In cases of retroviral infection, the host cell deploys antiviral proteins as a type of innate immunity. Tripartite motif-containing 5-isoform alpha (TRIM5α) is a potent antiviral protein. TRIM5α has been reported to restrict human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 infection in rhesus monkey cells by targeting the incoming viral capsid at the postentry or preintegration stage of the viral life cycle.
