Identification of HIV-1 Envelope Mutations that Enhance Entry Using Macaque CD4 and CCR5
2019-12-03
Abstract excerpt
Although Rhesus macaques are an important animal model for HIV-1 vaccine development research, most transmitted HIV-1 strains replicate poorly in macaque cells. A major genetic determinant of this species-specific restriction is a non-synonymous mutation in macaque CD4 that results in reduced HIV-1 Envelope (Env)-mediated viral entry compared to human CD4. Recent research efforts employing either laboratory evolut...
