A whole genome screen for HIV restriction factors
14 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Upon cellular entry retroviruses must avoid innate restriction factors produced by the host cell. For human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) human restriction factors, APOBEC3 (apolipoprotein-B-mRNA-editing-enzyme), p21 and tetherin are well characterised. RESULTS: To identify intrinsic resistance factors to HIV-1 replication we screened 19,121 human genes and identified 114 factors with significant...
