14) Tetherin is an important protein produced by the host. What is the function of tetherin in
protecting a host cell from HIV?
A) ties maturing virions to the membrane of the host cell, thereby preventing the release of the
mature virus
B) binds the virus to the external host cell membrane, thereby preventing the virus from entering
the host cell
C) binds the viral RNA to reverse transcriptase, thus preventing synthesis of the viral DNA
D) binds the two viral RNA strands together, thus preventing the transcription of viral DNA in
the host cell
E) causes the maturing virions to aggregate together, thus preventing their release from the host
cell
Answer: A
Section: 1.5
Skill: Application/Analysis
15) Early in the infection with HIV, most virions bind to the host cell using CCR5 as a
