Abstract excerpt
Insertion of T-cell line-tropic V3 and V4 loops from the HXB2 strain into the macrophage-tropic YU-2 envelope resulted in a virus with delayed infectivity for HUT78 and Jurkat cells compared with HXB2. Sequence analysis of viral DNA derived from long-term cultures of Jurkat cells revealed a specific mutation that changed a highly conserved Asn residue in the V1 loop of Env to an Asp residue (N-136-->D)....
