Comment
Elevated cellular levels of human BST-2 inhibited the release of virus-like particles (VLPs) consisting of the matrix proteins of multiple highly virulent NIAID Priority Pathogens, including arenaviruses (LASV and Machupo virus [MACV]), filoviruses (ZEBOV and MARV), and paramyxoviruses (Nipah virus). However, filoviruses, RVFV, and CPXV are immune to the inhibitory effect of BST-2.
