Macrophage-tropic strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 utilize the CD4 receptor

Abstract: To characterize the role of CD4 in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of macrophages, we examined the expression of CD4 by primary human monocyte-derived macrophages and studied the effect of recombinant soluble CD4 and anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies on HIV-1 infection of these cells. Immunofluorescence and Western blot (immunoblot) studies demonstrated that both monocytes and macrophages display low levels of surface CD4, which is identical in mobility to CD4 in lymphocytes. Recombinant sol… Show more

“…The discovery that HIV-1 used CD4 as the primary receptor for entry defined CD4-expressing cells as targets for HIV-1 [8] but failed to provide a basis for differential infection of the spectra of cells that express CD4 [9]. A mechanistic basis for selective cell tropism by viruses was provided a decade ago by the discovery that the chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 function as the major entry coreceptors used by M-tropic or T-tropic HIV-1 prototypes, respectively, while D-tropic prototypes could use both coreceptors [10 -12].…”

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15] In those cells, expression of CD4 is at considerably lower levels; monocytes express 10-to 20-fold less CD4 than lymphocytes and MDM even less. 16,17 Most notable is that little is known of the structure(s) or functions of the CD4 of nonlymphocytic cells. In contrast to those cells, CD4positive lymphocytes are uniquely equipped with TCR and CD3 receptors and with the CD4 binding TyK, Lck, for recognition of, and response to, presented Ag.…”
