HIV-2 evades restriction by ZAP through adaptations in the U3 LTR region despite increased CpG levels
2024-10-13
Abstract excerpt
Simian immunodeficiency viruses infecting sooty mangabeys (SIVsmm) gave rise to nine groups of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2). Two of these (A and B) spread substantially with an estimated 1- 2 million individuals affected. The evolutionary adaptations that facilitated HIV-2 spread in humans are still poorly understood. Here, we report that diverse SIVsmm strains efficiently infect primary human T cel...
