mouse mammary tumor virus
Editor's Pick Research Article | Host-Microbe BiologyA Protein Antagonist of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase Encoded by a Complex Mouse RetrovirusComplex retroviruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), cause many human deaths. These retroviruses produce lifelong infections through viral proteins that interfere with host immunity. The complex retrovirus mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) allows for studies of host-pathogen interactions not possible in humans. A mutation preventing expression of the MMTV Rem protein in two different MMTV strains decreased proviral...
