Inhibition of Entry of HIV-1 in Neural Cell Lines by Antibodies Against Galactosyl Ceramide

Abstract: Although the CD4 molecule is the principal cellular receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), several CD4-negative cell lines are susceptible to infection with one or more HIV strains. These findings indicate that there are alternate modes of viral entry, perhaps involving one or more receptor molecules. Antibodies against galactosyl ceramide (galactocerebroside, or GalC) inhibited viral internalization and infection in two CD4-negative cell lines derived from the nervous system: U373-MG and SK-N-MC… Show more

“…We found that D-54 cells express two classes of binding sites with higher (1.2 x 1 o-10 M) and lower (3.2 x 1o-9 M) affinity to rgp120. When compared with the results of Harouse et al ( 1991), our affinity data suggest that the high er affinity receptors consist of galactosyl-sulfatide and the lower affinity receptors of the trypsin-sensitive cell surface proteins. We also determined the binding of rgp 120 to trypsin-treated D-54 cells.…”

“…The human glioma cells did not express the main HIV-1 receptor CD4 as mRNA or as protein on their surfaces.lt has been described that several CD4-cells are susceptible to HIV-1, implicating the existence of additional HIV-1 receptors on neural cells (Ciapham et al, 1989;Harouse et al, 1989Harouse et al, , 1991Kozlowski et al, 1991;Li et al, 1990;Mizrachi et al, 1991;Schmitt et al, 1990). The only known molecular species expressed on the surface of D-54 cells capable of binding gp120 was found to be galactosyl-sulfatide.…”
