Stably expressed APOBEC3H forms a barrier for cross-species transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus of chimpanzee to humans
21 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3s (A3s) are potent restriction factors of human immunodeficiency virus type 1/ simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV-1/SIV), and can repress cross-species transmissions of lentiviruses.HIV-1 originated from a zoonotic infection of SIV of chimpanzee (SIVcpz) to humans.However, the impact of human A3s on the replication of SIVcpz remains unclear.By using novel SIVcpz reporter viruses, we identified that human...
