Abstract excerpt
Strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) that use the coreceptor CXCR4 (X4 strains) become laboratory adapted (LA) when selected for ability to replicate in leukemic T cell lines such as H9. Compared with patient X4 viruses, the gp120-gp41 complexes of LA viruses have a constellation of common properties including enhanced affinities for CD4, greater sensitivities to inactivations by diverse...
