Abstract excerpt
Mouse xenotropic and polytropic leukemia viruses (XMVs and PMVs) are closely related gammaretroviruses that use the XPR1 receptor for entry. To identify amino acid residues in XPR1 important for virus entry, we tested mouse cells derived from evolutionarily divergent species for susceptibility to prototypical PMVs, XMVs, and the wild mouse isolate CasE#1. CasE#1 has a variant XMV/PMV host range, and sequence...
