The major cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We have been using evolutionary comparisons to …

Since the isolation of HIV, multiple transmissions are thought to have occurred between man
and other old-world primates. Assessment of samples from apes and human beings with …

Since its first release in 2001 as mainly a software package for phylogenetic analysis, data
analysis for molecular biology and evolution (DAMBE) has gained many new functions that …

German Advisory Committee Blood (Arbeitskreis Blut), Subgroup 'Assessment of Pathogens
Transmissible by Blood'tein, TM) are derived. In addition to the structural proteins, the HIV …

Vpu proteins of pandemic HIV-1 M strains degrade the viral receptor CD4 and antagonize
human tetherin to promote viral release and replication. We show that Vpus from SIVgsn …

Tetherin, also known as BST2, CD317 or HM1. 24, was recently identified as an interferon-
inducible host–cell factor that interferes with the detachment of virus particles from infected …

The ancestry of HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus–1) has been traced to SIVcpz (simian
immunodeficiency virus) infecting chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)] in west central Africa (1) …

Summary The tetherin/BST2/CD317 protein blocks the release of HIV-1 and other
enveloped viruses by inducing tethering of nascent particles to infected cell surfaces. The …

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-1 viral protein U (Vpu) protein enhances the
release of diverse retroviruses from human, but not monkey, cells and is thought to do so by …

Bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST-2, also known as tetherin) is a recently identified
interferon-inducible host restriction factor that can block the production of enveloped viruses …
