Ultra Structural Characterisation of Tetherin - a Protein Capable of Preventing Viral Release from the Plasma Membrane
Tetherin is an antiviral restriction factor made by mammalian cells to protect them from viral infection.It prevents newly formed virus particles from leaving infected cells.Its antiviral mechanism appears to be remarkably uncomplicated.In 2 studies published in PLoS Pathogens electron microscopy FLEX JOINT is used to support the hypothesis that th
