Analysis of the contribution of cellular and viral RNA to the packaging of APOBEC3G into HIV-1 virions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Efficient incorporation of the cellular cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G (APO3G) into HIV-1 virions is necessary for its antiviral activity. Even though cellular RNAs are known to be non-specifically incorporated into virus particles, we...
