The Cell Cycle Independence of HIV Infections Is Not Determined by Known Karyophilic Viral Elements
7 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus and other lentiviruses infect cells independent of cell cycle progression, but gammaretroviruses, such as the murine leukemia virus (MLV) require passage of cells through mitosis. This property is thought to be important for the ability of HIV to infect resting CD4+ T cells and terminally differentiated macrophages.
