Efficient BST2 antagonism by Vpu is critical for early HIV-1 dissemination in humanized mice

BACKGROUND: Vpu is a multifunctional accessory protein that enhances the release of HIV-1 by counteracting the entrapment of nascent virions on infected cell surface mediated by BST2/Tetherin. Vpu-mediated BST2 antagonism involves physical association with BST2 and subsequent mislocalization of the...
