Identification of residues in the BST-2 TM domain important for antagonism by HIV-1 Vpu using a gain-of-function approach

The HIV-1 Vpu protein enhances the release of viral particles from the cell surface in a cell-type specific manner.In the absence of Vpu, nascent virions remain tethered to the cell surface in restricted cell types.Recently, the human host factor BST-2/CD317/tetherin was found to be responsible for the inhibition of virus release.It was also report

C-reactive protein, inflammation and coronary heart disease

Inflammation is widely considered to be an important contributing factor of the pathophysiology of coronary heart disease (CHD), and the inflammatory cascade is particularly important in the atherosclerotic process.In consideration of the important role that inflammatory processes play in CHD, recent work has been focused on whether biomarkers of i
