Mechanisms employed by HIV and SIV to overcome the antiviral activity of BST-2/tetherin
BST-2 (tetherin/CD317/HM1.24) is an interferon-inducible cellular factor that is able to retain fully formed viral particles at the cell surface. This effectively prevents the release of a wide range of viruses including HIV-1 and SIV. Viruses in turn have evolved mechanisms to overcome this restric...
