Role of the ectodomain of the gp41 transmembrane envelope protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in late steps of the membrane fusion process.

Abstract excerpt

The membrane fusion process mediated by the gp41 transmembrane envelope glycoprotein of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was addressed by a flow cytometry assay detecting exchanges of fluorescent membrane probes (DiI and DiO) between cells expressing the HIV-1 envelope proteins (Env) and target cells. Double-fluorescent cells were detected when target cells expressed the type of chemokine receptor,...
