APOBEC family proteins: novel antiviral innate immunity.

abstract：:Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia. The geographic distribution of HTLV-1 carriers is quite uneven in Japan and the greatest prevalence is in southwestern Japan. Because many people move from endemic areas to the greater Tokyo area, the geographic distributio...
