| Abstract | The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replicates in activated CD4+ T lymphocytes. However, only CD4+ Th2 and Th0, but not Th1, CD4+ T-cell clones have been reported to efficiently support HIV-1 replication. This dichotomous pattern was further investigated in the present study in Th1, Th2, or Th0 cell lines derived from umbilical human cord blood and in T-cell clones obtained from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy adults. Both primary and laboratory-adapted HIV-1 strains with CCR5 as the exclusive entry coreceptor (R5 viruses) efficiently replicated in Th1, Th2, and Th0 cells. In sharp contrast, CXCR4-dependent (X4) viruses poorly replicated in both polarized and unpolarized CD4+ T cells, including adults’ PBMC infected several days after mitogenic stimulation. Unlike the X4 HIV-1NL4-3, a chimera in which the env gene had been replaced with that of the R5 HIV-1NL(AD8), efficiently replicated in both Th1 and Th2 cells. This X4-dependent restriction of HIV replication was not explained by either the absence of functional CXCR4 on the cell surface or by the inefficient viral entry and reverse transcription. T-cell receptor stimulation by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies fully rescued X4 HIV-1 replication in both Th1 and Th2 cells, whereas it did not alter the extent and kinetics of R5 HIV-1 spreading. Thus, R5 HIVs show a replicative advantage in comparison to X4 viruses in their ability to efficiently propagate among suboptimally activated T lymphocytes, regardless of their polarized or unpolarized functional profiles. This observation may help to explain the absolute predominance of R5 HIVs over X4 viruses observed after viral transmission and during early-stage disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
