Feline Tetherin Is Characterized by a Short N-Terminal Region and Is Counteracted by the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Envelope Glycoprotein
19 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Tetherin (BST2) is the host cell factor that blocks the particle release of some enveloped viruses. Two putative feline tetherin proteins differing at the level of the N-terminal coding region have recently been described and tested for their antiviral activity. By cloning and comparing the two reported feline tetherins (called here cBST2(504) and cBST2*) and generating specific derivative mutants, this study...
