Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Counteracts Tetherin Restriction via Its Virion Host Shutoff Activity
The interferon-inducible membrane protein tetherin (Bst-2, or CD317) is an antiviral factor that inhibits enveloped virus release by cross-linking newly formed virus particles to the producing cell. The majority of viruses that are sensitive to tetherin restriction appear to be those that acquire th...
