Epigenetic Regulation of BST-2 Expression Levels and the Effect on HIV-1 Pathogenesis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 HIV-1 must overcome host antiviral restriction factors for efficient replication. We hypothesized that elevated levels of bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (BST-2), a potent host restriction factor that interferes with HIV-1 particle release in some ...
