Summary
PMID 19564354
BST2 directly binds to purified LILRA4 (ILT7) protein, initiates signalling via the ILT7-FcepsilonRIgamma complex, and strongly inhibits production of IFN and pro-inflammatory cytokines in plamsmacytoid dendritic cells
PMID 20702620
BST2 (CD317) is a broadly acting and conserved mediator of innate control of retroviral infection and pathogenesis that restricts the release of retroviruses and lentiviruses in rodents by limiting replication of HIV-1 and MLV.
PMID 21734563
BST2 is an innate intracellular HIV restriction factor that is upregulated by type I interferons.
PMID 22072710
BST2 is a broad spectrum effector of the innate immune response to viral infection. BST2 is antagonized by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Vpu protein to evade innate immune system detection.
PMID 24733916
HIV-1 viral protein U, Vpu, protects HIV-infected cells from antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity as a function of its ability to counteract BST2 (tetherin).

Summary Bone marrow stromal cells are involved in the growth and development of B-cells. The specific function of the protein encoded by the bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 is undetermined; however, this protein may play a role in pre-B-cell growth and in rheumatoid arthritis.
