With the advent of more and more sophisticated applications for mobile users, high rate-demanding services and new habits of subscribers, wireless communications system designers are confronted to new challenges: providing ubiquitous availability, improving energy efficiency, enhancing system capacity and guaranteeing security. As some of these aspects cannot be simultaneously optimized in conv...
Macrophage-tropic (M-tropic) HIV-1 strains use the beta-chemokine receptor CCR5, but not CCR2b, as a cofactor for membrane fusion and infection, while the dual-tropic strain 89.6 uses both. CCR5/2b chimeras and mutants were used to map regions of CCR5 important for cofactor function and specificity. M-tropic strains required either the amino-terminal domain or the first extracellular loop of CC...
The XC infectious center assay was used to study the nature of the lymphoid cells producing N-tropic C-type viruses in preleukemic AKR mice. Viral production by thymic cell suspensions was very low and was possibly due to contaminating cells. Production at least 100-fold higher was found in spleen cells and was probably due to non-T-cells. The significance of these results is discussed briefly,...
Here, we show that the beta-chemokine receptor CKR-5 serves as a cofactor for M-tropic HIV viruses. Expression of CKR-5 with CD4 enables nonpermissive cells to form syncytia with cells expressing M-tropic, but not T-tropic, HIV-1 env proteins. Expression of CKR-5 and CD4 enables entry of a M-tropic, but not a T-tropic, virus strain. A dual-tropic primary HIV-1 isolate (89.6) utilizes both Fusin...
Monocytes/macrophages (M/M) and CD4+ T cells are two important targets of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Different strains of HIV-1 vary markedly in their abilities to infect cells belonging to the M/M lineage. Macrophagetropic (M-tropic) HIV-1 strains replicate well in primary lymphocytes as well as in primary macrophages; however, they generally infect T-cell lines poorly, if a...
To study the replication of murine leukaemia viruses in human cells we have used full-length as well as EGFP-tagged ecotropic viruses in combination with mCAT-1-expressing human cells. We present results showing that N-tropic murine leukaemia viruses are restricted in both infection and replication in such cells while B-tropic viruses, modified at capsid position 110, escape restriction. These ...
We use mathematical models to determine possible mechanisms contributing to the evolution and rise of virulent CXCR4-tropic HIV in vivo. The models predict that the ability of the virus to specialize on a given target cell type depends on the exact fitness landscape of the viral mutants. Because this fitness landscape varies between people, this may explain why the evolution of fully CXCR4-trop...
Dual/mixed-tropic HIV-1 strains are predominant in a significative proportion of patients, though few information is available regarding the genetic characteristics, quasispecies composition, and susceptibility against CCR5-antagonists of the primary-isolates. For this reason, we investigated in deep details, both phenotypically and genotypically, the characteristics of 54 HIV-1 primary-isolate...
Primary macrophages are infected by macrophage (M)-tropic but not T-cell line (T)-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains, and CCR5 and CXCR-4 are the principal cofactors utilized for CD4-mediated entry by M-tropic and T-tropic isolates, respectively. Macrophages from individuals homozygous for an inactivating mutation of CCR5 are resistant to prototype M-tropic strains that ...
