Abstract excerpt
TRIM5α is a factor contributing to intracellular defense mechanisms against retrovirus infection. Rhesus and cynomolgus monkey TRIM5αs potently restrict HIV-1, whereas human TRIM5α shows weak effects against HIV-1. We investigated the association between a single nucleotide polymorphism in the TRIM5α linker 2 region (rs11038628), which substituted aspartic acid (D) for glycine (G) at position 249, with...
