Gaining a foothold: how HIV avoids innate immune recognition.

abstract：:We are in a 'golden age' of mouse genetics. Genetic engineering and micromanipulation techniques now allow not only the overexpression or misexpression of transgenes randomly inserted into the mouse genome, but also the directed homologous replacement of normal genes with transgenes coding for null or mutant alleles (...
