Quantifying the effect of Vpu on the promotion of HIV-1 replication in the humanized mouse model
5 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tetherin is an intrinsic anti-viral factor impairing the release of nascent HIV-1 particles from infected cells. Vpu, an HIV-1 accessory protein, antagonizes the anti-viral action of tetherin. Although previous studies using in vitro cell culture systems have revealed the molecular mechanisms of the anti-viral action of tetherin and the antagonizing action of Vpu against tetherin, it still remains...
