Envelope Glycoprotein Determinants of Increased Fusogenicity in a Pathogenic Simian-Human Immunodeficiency Virus (SHIV-KB9) Passaged In Vivo
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
Changes in the envelope glycoprotein ectodomains of a nonpathogenic simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV-89.6) that was serially passaged in vivo have been shown to be responsible for the increased pathogenicity of the resulting virus, SHIV-KB9 (G. B. Karlsson, et al., J. Exp. Med. 188:1159-1171, 1998). The 12 amino acid changes in the envelope glycoprotein ectodomains resulted in increased chemokine...
