The Biased Nucleotide Composition of HIV-1 Triggers Type I Interferon Response and Correlates with Subtype D Increased Pathogenicity
18 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
The genome of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has an average nucleotide composition strongly biased as compared to the human genome. The consequence of such nucleotide composition on HIV pathogenicity has not been investigated yet. To address this question, we analyzed the role of nucleotide bias of HIV-derived nucleic acids in stimulating type-I interferon response in vitro. We found that the biased...
