Envelope glycoproteins from biologically diverse isolates of immunodeficiency viruses have widely different affinities for CD4.

Abstract: The envelope glycoprotein gp120 of primate immunodeficiency viruses initiates viral attachment to CD4' cells by binding to the CD4 antigen on host cell surfaces.

“…The role of entry is favoured by genetic studies in which the determinants of tropism map to the env region Liu et al, 1990;O'Brien et al, 1990;Chesebro et al, 1991;Hwang et al, 1991 ;Shioda et al, 1991 ;Westervelt et al, 1991), although alterations in the structure of the envelope glycoproteins might conceivably influence the assembly of virions at late stages of replication. The precise stage at which tropism is determined is undefined but generally perceived to be a post-binding event, given that all isolates have in common a high affinity for CD4 (Brighty et al, 1991;Ivey-Hoyle et al, 1991;Moore et al, 1992). Fusion of the viral and cellular membranes is a candidate step, although a recent study using fluorescence dequenching suggests that tropism is determined by a post-fusion event (Potash et al, 1992).…”

“…Anti-CD3 (IgG2a-clone ϫ 35; Immunotech-Coulter), anti-CD28 (IgG1; Becton Dickinson), and isotype-matched irrelevant mAbs (Becton Dickinson) as well as full-length synthetic HIV-1 Tat protein (86 aa, derived from the HIV-1 T cell line-tropic BH10 strain; Technogen, Caserta, Italy) (27) were resuspended in PBS containing 0.1% BSA (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Forty-eight-well flat-bottom polystyrene plates (Costar, Cambridge, MA) were coated overnight at 4°C with anti-CD3, anti-CD28, isotype-matched irrelevant mAb (IgG1 and IgG2a; Immunotech-Coulter), Tat, BSA, used alone or in combination, at the concentrations indicated in the text.…”

“…These include adenovirusbased expression of gp120, yielding 2-5 mg from 10 6 infected cells (Natuk et al 1992) and constitutive expression at about 1 mg per mL of culture medium from transformed CHO cells (Laskey et al 1986). In addition, regulated expression in a Drosophila cell line allowed gp120 production, usually at a level of 2 mg/mL and, though probably much less often, at 30 mg/mL (Ivey-Hoyle et al 1991) at a cell density of 10 7 cells/mL. However, the products are likely to be less authentic than those produced in mammalian cells because of differences in glycosylation and other metabolic pathways between insect and mammalian cells.…”
