Cloning and characterization of the antiviral activity of feline Tetherin/BST-2.

Cloning and characterization of the antiviral activity of feline Tetherin/BST-2.

Human Tetherin/BST-2 has recently been identified as a cellular antiviral factor that blocks the release of various enveloped viruses. In this study, we cloned a cDNA fragment encoding a feline homolog of Tetherin/BST-2 and characterized the protein product. The degree of amino acid sequence identit...
