Role of Low CD4 Levels in the Influence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Envelope V1 and V2 Regions on Entry and Spread in Macrophages
28 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates vary in their ability to infect macrophages. Previous experiments have mapped viral determinants of macrophage infectivity to the V3 hypervariable region of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. In our earlier studies, V1 and V2 sequences of HIV-1 were also shown to alter the ability of virus to spread in macrophage cultures, whereas no effect was seen in lymphocyte...
