In COS Cells Vpu Can Both Stabilize Tetherin Expression and Counteract Its Antiviral Activity

The interferon-inducible cellular protein tetherin (CD317/BST-2) inhibits the release of a broad range of enveloped viruses. The HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu enhances virus particle release by counteracting this host restriction factor. While the antagonism of human tetherin by Vpu has been associate...
