Role of the fusogenic peptide sequence in syncytium induction and infectivity of human immunodeficiency virus type 2.

Journal of virology - 1 Jul 1992

Steffy K R, Kraus G, Looney D J, Wong-Staal F

Abstract excerpt

Syncytium induction is a characteristic feature of infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro. The hydrophobic amino terminus of the transmembrane glycoprotein of HIV type 1 is an essential determinant of virus entry into the target cell population and the formation of syncytia in c...
