Recent findings have highlighted roles played by innate cellular factors in restricting
intracellular viral replication. In this review, we discuss in brief the activities of apolipoprotein
B mRNA-editing enzyme 3G (APOBEC3G), bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (BST-2),
cyclophilin A, tripartite motif protein 5 alpha (Trim5α), and cellular microRNAs as examples
of host restriction factors that target HIV-1. We point to countermeasures encoded by HIV-1
for moderating the potency of these cellular restriction functions.
