A retrovirus [lymphoadenopathy-associated virus, human T-cell leukemia virus type III, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related virus] suspected of causing AIDS has been isolated recently. The detection of exposure to this retrovirus in donors of various blood products is important to prevent transmission of the disease from these donors to recipients. In the majority of cases, the det...

The type C retrovirus simian T-lymphotropic virus type III (STLV-III) has been isolated recently from immunodeficient macaque monkeys at the New England Regional Primate Research Center. The present studies were done to define the in vitro growth characteristics of this agent. STLV-III replicates efficiently in interleukin 2-dependent T-cell cultures of macaque peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL...

Yet, this type of HIV therapeutics is incurable. HIV/AID...

The envelope (Env) spikes on HIV-1 and closely related SIV define the viral tropism, mediate the fusion process and are the prime target of the humoral response. Despite intensive efforts, Env has been slow to reveal its structural and functional secrets. Three gp120 subunits comprise the 'head' of Env and three gp41 subunits comprise the 'stalk' and other membrane-associated elements. The rece...
