Simple determination of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 syncytium-inducing V3 genotype by PCR.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) phenotype variability plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AIDS. The presence of syncytium-inducing (SI) HIV-1 isolates in infected individuals is associated with a rapid decline of CD4+ T cells, rapid disease progression, and reduced survival time after AIDS diagnosis. The strong association between the SI capacity of HIV-1 and the presence...
متن کاملEvolution of syncytium-inducing and non-syncytium-inducing biological virus clones in relation to replication kinetics during the course of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection.
To investigate the temporal relationship between human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replicative capacity and syncytium-inducing (SI) phenotype, biological and genetic characteristics of longitudinally obtained virus clones from two HIV-1-infected individuals who developed SI variants were studied. In one individual, the emergence of rapidly replicating SI and non-syncytium-inducing (NS...
متن کاملMonocytotropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants detectable in all stages of HIV-1 infection lack T-cell line tropism and syncytium-inducing ability in primary T-cell culture.
We previously demonstrated a correlation between the presence of syncytium-inducing (SI) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) variants showing tropism for cell line H9 and the occurrence of rapid CD4 cell decline and progression to AIDS. In contrast, in stable asymptomatic individuals, we detected only isolates with low replication rates that were non-syncytium-inducing (NSI) and nontrop...
متن کاملVirus phenotype switching and disease progression in HIV-1 infection.
One of the phenotypic distinctions between different strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has to do with the ability to cause target cells to form large multinucleate bodies known as syncytia. There are two phenotypes according to this characterization: syncytium-inducing (SI) and non-syncytium-inducing (NSI). NSI strains are usually present throughout infection, while SI stra...
متن کاملStandardized microtiter assay for determination of syncytium-inducing phenotypes of clinical human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates.
A standardized assay in 96-well microtiter plates for syncytium-inducing (SI) human immunodeficiency virus type 1 phenotype detection using MT-2 cells has been developed. SI variants were found in 67% of the patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus disease. The occurrence of the SI phenotype increased with lower CD4+ counts. There was no association between p24 antigenemia and the SI...
