Antagonism to human BST-2/tetherin by Sendai virus glycoproteins

Tetherin is an interferon-inducible factor that restricts viral particle production. We show here that Sendai virus (SeV) induces a drastic decrease in tetherin levels in infected HeLa cells. Using ectopic expression of tetherin in Madin–Darby canine kidney cells, we find that infectious SeV product...
