Characterization of a Simian Human Immunodeficiency Virus Encoding the Envelope Gene from the CCR5-Tropic HIV-1 Ba-L
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The tat, rev, vpu, and env genes from the monocytotropic CCR5-dependent HIV-1 Ba-L isolate were substituted for homologous simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) sequences in the SIV genome. The resultant SHIV (SHIV Ba-L) replicated in CCR5-positive PM-1 cells but not in CCR5-negative CEMX174 cells. Infection of HOS cells expressing different co-receptors showed SHIV Ba-L to be strictly CCR5-dependent. Infection of...
