Abstract excerpt
The three type C retroviruses, gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV), simian sarcoma-associated virus (SSAV), and feline leukemia virus subgroup B (FeLV-B), infect human cells by interacting with the same cell surface receptor, GLVR1. Using LacZ retroviral pseudotypes and murine cells transfected with mutant GLVR1 expression vectors, we show that the same 9-amino-acid region of human GLVR1 is critical for infection by...
