Abstract excerpt
Human cells express distinct but related receptors for the gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) and the amphotropic murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV), termed Pit1 and Pit2, respectively. Pit1 is not able to function as a receptor for A-MuLV infection, while Pit2 does not confer susceptibility to GALV. Previous studies of chimeric receptors constructed by interchanging regions of Pit1 and Pit2 failed to clarify the...
