Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of CD4-positive lymphocytes is accompanied by acute cytopathic effects, i.e., syncytium formation and single-cell lysis. Syncytium formation involves cell-cell fusion mediated by viral envelope glycoproteins on the surface of infected cells an...
