RNA interference (RNAi) has been successfully used as a promising method to inhibit the replication of different viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Gene mutation is a hurdle for the anti-HIV by RNAi. Although prone to mutation, some genes are conserved and limited in functionally important regions. The gag gene is conserved in different subtypes and plays an important role in the...
The cellular protein tetherin tethers the HIV-1 viral particles on the cellular membrane to inhibit the replication of HIV-1. However, the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu counteracts the antiviral function of tetherin. In this study, two retroviral vector plasmids were constructed. One inhibited the vpu gene expression; the other one over-expressed the tetherin. Both retroviral vector plasmids could be...
